Yes, I also recall a Dick Tracy strip where someone decides to jump down from a significant distance by landing on the roof of a car. Practically all the Dick Tracy I’ve read has been from one particular compilation: Dick Tracy's Fiendish Foes | Dick Tracy Wiki | Fandom so if one was looking for it, those strips would be the first place to lok.
When the woman jumped of the Empire State Building, hoods were more sturdy stuff than the thin metal hoods of today. I wonder which works best. I might be able to flop around on the way down, to try and hit an older car.
I don’t have a cite, but a cousin in San Francisco told me back in the '80s of a man there who had recently fallen 20 or 30 floors and lived. His survival was apparently credited to his being drunk at the time, keeping him relaxed enough for when he hit whatever it was that broke his fall. Awning, bush, forget exactly what it was. She said it was in the news.
