If a character jumped off a bridge into the water below, what are the chances of that person surviving?
A bridge something like this to be specific:

Depends how they land and how strong the current in the river is.

Okeydoke

Land on their back, might break a rib, but if the current's soft and they'll wash to shore. If the current's strong, they'll be dragged under and probably never seen again

I mean, if they're a strong swimmer and don't belly-flop in, I'm sure they'll be fine.

Also depends on how high? Bc surface tension…. the higher it is they jump from, the higher probability of broken bones and death
