Ans-They did not jump far enough outward from the building
On December 22, 1977, a 26-year-old man named Thomas Helms jumped from the observatory on the 86th floor. Because he didn't jump far enough out from the building, he fell only about 20 feet onto a 3' x 4' ledge on the 85th floor and was not seriously hurt. On December 2, 1979, 29-year-old Elvita Adams jumped from the same level. She jumped further outward but was saved by a strong gust of wind that also blew here onto the 85th floor ledge. She escaped with a broken hip.
