People often think that when someone falls from a great height, they just land on the ground and are dead. Like in the movies.

Ever dropped a water balloon from any kind of height?

That's closer to the truth. We burst like a human shaped balloon, organs and blood and body parts and viscera splattering out from the point of impact. Collecting their bodies takes a lot of time, and a hose or mop.
