From Turtle MacBride:
An unnamed man in Dubai fell to his death from the 147th floor of Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. BUT, because he did not plan properly, his life was ended prematurely when he landed on a deck on the 108th floor. Having reached terminal velocity of about 120 mph, his life was unnecessarily cut short by 15 seconds. Not only that, but his place in the Guinness Book, for being the first person to commit suicide by jumping off Burj Khalifa, is tenuous because, technically speaking, he did not actually jump "off" the building. Sticklers insist that you have to actually clear the building. All of which goesto show how important seemingly trivial details can be. Remember: the failure to plan is a plan to fail.
