I'm debating whether a fall from there would be enough to kill me without permanent damage, I'm really afraid of failed attempts.
7th floor jump, dead or no?

I've seen some people say you should aim for a minimum of 150 feet. Obviously some people have ctb from lower heights, and. some have survived from higher than 150 feet.

The most recent thread I saw about heights was from a poster who has since sadly ctb'd(or at least it seems he has). He referred to examples he came across of deaths from as low as the 6th floor(even one from the 3rd), but said that >150ft was the consensus.

I've compiled a short list of people who have jumped to their death. These are all building jumps. This is to help with questions about if the height is enough. Plus people like to post about people who have jumped and survived so I'm just trying to create a balance and help convince myself that it can be done. You can Google "suicide jumping" click on "news" tab to view the actual articles.
I've listed them by age, gender and stories/floor of jump.

73 male 63rd floor
66 male 6th floor
24 male 6th floor
46 female 6th floor
51 male 6th floor
35 female 3rd floor
40's male 8th floor
31 male 14th floor
60 female 15th floor
27 male 24th floor
34 female 4th floor
42 female 16 floor

I plan on 16 stories. Fingers crossed.

Yep, 150ft seems to be the general consensus for death by jumping. 16 stories should be a minimum of 160ft. Each floor of a highrise is between 10ft and 15ft.
