People have survived after falling from much higher heights, but I would not recommend trying it.

Three people have fallen or jumped from the Statue of Liberty. Two of them survived.

Frederick R Law became the first person to jump off the Statue of Liberty, doing so in February 1912. He gained permission from the of the army captain of Liberty Island prior to his jump. He leapt off the observation platform, 68m above the water, and used a parachute to land safely.

A second jump occurred in May 1923. Ralph Gleason was in the crown when he exited one of the windows. According to a witness, he turned around, seeming to want to return, but then slipped, falling to his death.

The last jump occurred in August 2001 when a French stuntman by the name of Thierry Devaux parasailed onto the Statue of Liberty. He intended to then bungee jump off the Statue, but after he jumped, his bungee cord became entangled in the torch of the gracious lady. Devaux hung from the torch for about half an hour, and following his rescue, he was arrested by the police.
