Watched Harrison Ford In The Fugitive Last Night

[Jahulaye]

Wow, what a great movie and what a dish he is, anyway does anyone know whether the jump into the raging waters of the dam is survivable irl? ( in real life? )

[andy-hughes]

The survival factor depends on a mass of variables - not least, starting with the ability of the jumper to swim well, and carrying on with potentials such as hidden rocks which may be hit or avoided depending where the jumper lands, the currents at the time, breaking limbs or neck with the force of entry - I am sure there are more, these just occur as I think about the scenario.

I think if a fugitive was to jump off a dam he'd be well and truly fugged.
