fireman

[mchinyou]

a fireman is running to get a net under a lady who looks like she might jump off the balcony of her 20 story apartment building. There is nothing below her except a 20 story fall. The firemand is still 100 yards away when she falls and can't nearly get there in time. The woman is not hurt more than a bruise. How is that possible?

[catcuddler]

someone on one of the floors below had a net or caught her?

[GetOverIt]

She fell backwards, back on to the roof ?

I think the question is phrased wrongly?

Is the answer that she lives on the ground floor of the 20 storey building?

[Marvelman]

Hi mchinyou, will you give the answer please, it got us all beat.

[mchinyou]

She fell on the balcony..........................

Whickerman's answer is best, it's a 20 storey building, but she may be just a short way up. A first floor balcony would produce little more than a bruise if she landed well.

She didn't jump on to the ground outside, she jumped back on to the balcony.
