And now you're only two choices would be: you just slowly starve to death or just go ahead and jump to end it quickly.
Starving to death is slow torture and you'll be in complete agony all the while. But jumping, while the impact of hitting the ground is scary af, would probably be the better option since death from that high is instant and you wouldn't feel a thing.
Relax up there, starve yourself to shave off some weight. Then play dead repeatedly until you've lured and snagged enough vultures to support your weight, use your rope to tie to their feet, connect them to your waist. Then lunch and let the fluttering birds lessen your fall as you descend to the ground.
If it doesn't work, the birds get a free meal. On you.
Thirst would kick in first.
shareThere's a dog at the bottom.
Simply jump off, land on top of the dog and allow the dog's legs to break your fall. Then call for help to get your remaining buddy off the top.
Simples.
Would the hound survive ?
shareNot sure.
Would take a lot of impact force but then distributed over four legs rather than two. Perhaps a physicist would be better placed to shed light on the dog's outcome...
Or a Vet!
share😂 Indeed!
shareAs a Vet, I can confirm that the dog would be unlikely to survive, four legs would not be enough to distribute the force and from that height it is likely that the animal's spine would be severely damaged
shareNot to mention that at that height, neither of them would survive...
shareYou're not taking into account the dog's tail, which the dog could make point downwards and use as a slightly weaker albeit temporary 5th leg for emergency situations.
That should give the newly formed jumper-doggo team the edge to safely pull this maneuver off without injury.
Too complicated and risky, cause you might miss the dog.
Instead, just jump until you're 3 feet away from the ground. Then you're fine cause anyone can jump from 3 feet to the ground without injury.

Man, I think if the 2 of us teamed up, we could solve all the world's problems before lunch time!
shareTry calling for help when your brain's terminal velocity has suddenly been reduced to zero by the inside of your skull.
shareSabotage the antenna. Then someone will come to fix it.
shareThe tower is out of use!
shareOk. Then i'd just climb down.
shareLadder fell off :(
shareI'll just use the thin but super-strong spectra rope that i hid in my butt.
shareBowels were evacuated pre-climb :(
shareNope. They werent. I was quite constipated, thank you. Now you're just making things up.
shareWe're talking about the movie, not your hypothetical scenario! They both comment on the climb up how it's a good thing they fasted for 2 days and did a full bowel cleanse pre-climb.
shareNo, you are wrong. Read the first post again.
shareThe tower is out of use!
shareMy uncle secretly bought the tower just before the happenings in the movie takes place, and is coming to inspect it top to bottom with a crew of maintenance workers the twenty minutes the movie ends.
shareOhhhh, now I understand the significance of that random scene in the middle where your uncle’s truck breaks down!! Guess he won’t be much help :(
shareThere is no need to starve to death. That'd be silly. Just jump, and when you're about to hit the floor, bend your legs a little bit to absorb the impact.
shareI thought this was a millsey post at first.
shareJ-U-M-M-M-M-M-M-M-P!!!
shareEventually I'd jump, but its gonna be after a long while up there.
