    Movies make it look like you can shrug off a fall from a 1 story building and just keep running. But wow, is that not true. There are instances of people surviving a lot more, but 1-2 stories is enough to kill much of the time.

      People can get seriously hurt falling down a chair, or on their head from just standing upright.

        It’s a healthy reflex up to a point. Your body doesn’t want to fall. But if it’s causing you daily anxiety that’s going a little too far. Stress is not healthy either.
