When doing it for the gram ends in a painful thumbs up. This Aussie misjudged how soft the snow was below the window of his Perisher chalet and paid the price. OUCH.

Don’t Jump Out of a Window Into Snow. But if You Do.

Why would you say this? This is like telling your younger sister to stop making that sound because it’s annoying. Instead of stopping, people are probably going to say «hey, why didn’t I think of jumping out of window?»
But really, this jumping out of a window isn’t the brightest idea. It’s not the worst idea (see Ice Bucket Challenge) but it could go terribly wrong. You never know what is under that snow. There could be an ice troll hidden in there or maybe a snow snake. However, in a perfect case you could in fact jump out of a window into snow. How does that work?
The Physics of a Snow Jump
This isn’t new. I’ve looked at jumping into things several times — the most dramatic example is this guy Professor Splash. He jumps from a 35 foot platform and lands in a pool that’s just one foot deep. Don’t try that jump either.
What makes a jump survivable? The best thing to look at is the acceleration. After you jump out of the window, there is only the gravitational force acting on you. This means that you will accelerate at 9.8 m/s 2 (assuming the effects of air resistance are small). Since this gravitational force pulls on all parts of your body, it doesn’t really cause harm. In fact if you were falling in a constant gravitational field that was 10 times larger, you would still feel the same as falling on Earth (you would feel weightless). However, once you hit the snow there is another force from the snow pushing up. This upward force must be greater than the gravitational force so that the net force is upward to decrease your speed (down to zero hopefully). The snow only pushes on parts of your body so that a large acceleration can cause internal damage (or something like that). The point is that large accelerations on landing are bad.
How do you make the landing acceleration smaller (and safer)? One way is to increase the distance over which you accelerate. Deep snow will push with a smaller force (resulting in a smaller acceleration) over a larger distance. The same thing happens if you jump into water or one of those stunt air bags (or a giant stack of cardboard boxes). But how high of an acceleration is too high? This is a tough question since all humans are different. Here is a list of events with different accelerations and based on this, let’s go with a maximum acceleration of 20 g’s (where 1 g = 9.8 m/s 2 ) during the landing.
While a longer landing distance is better, a higher starting height is worse. This means that your stopping distance (in order to keep the acceleration safe) depends on your starting height. How could you possibly calculate this? Don’t worry, I will do it for you. That way you can worry about what outfit to wear for your jump and who will video record it for you (and from what angle).
Let’s start with a diagram.
Since we don’t really care about time, the best way to solve this problem is with the Work-Energy principle. I will skip most of the details, but you can find a better explanation in my introductory physics ebook — Just Enough Physics (Amazon). Using that idea, I get the following expression.
Now if I want to say the acceleration is 20 g’s, I can solve for the stopping distance (d):
Just put in the height from the window to the snow for h and you can calculate the depth of snow needed. If you want to put an acceleration of 20 g’s, use a value of 1 g for «g». It doesn’t’ even matter what units you use for distance — use feet if you like.
How about a quick test. If I want to jump out of a second story window, I might be 4 meters above the snow (13 feet). Putting this value into the expression above as «h» I get a depth of 21 cm. That’s not too bad even though it might still sting a little bit.
‘It’s snow joke’: Boston mayor warns against window jumping
For the last three weeks Boston residents have used snow banks to show off their courage by filming jump videos and posting them online under the hashtag #BostonBlizzardChallenge.
Mayor Martin Walsh reminded that such activities can very dangerous. At a press conference updating on snow removal efforts, he said, “It’s a foolish thing to do and you could kill yourself.”

Walsh called for more responsibility, pointing out that local authorities are already busy enough with the snowfall to find time to spend on emergency calls from adults still thinking that jumping out of a window into the snow is a really funny thing to do.

For those who can’t stop jumping, the mayor reminded that Boston is not the ski resort ‘Loon Mountain’. The resort immediately reacted by tweeting a video with snowboarders calling for Bostonians to be more responsible.
We echo @marty_walsh plea for people to act responsibly — so we decided to take action. http://t.co/LU1MBiVy0g#BOSnow#BostonSnow
Boston has almost sunk under 96 inches (244cm) of snow after a series of brutal winter storms that hit the East Coast.
Walsh admitted that with so much snow the city is running out of space to put it.
This February became the snowiest-ever month in the city with downfalls volumes of 10 times above average.
And there is still no good news, with the National Weather Service predicting Boston might see yet another snowfall this weekend.
Don’t Try This at Home: Snow Jumping Craze Takes Hold in US and Russia
Boston Mayor urged people to stop jumping out of windows into snow piles.
Boston Mayor, Martin Walsh, called on residents at a press conference on Monday for an end to the snow-jumping craze that has seen people jumping into huge snow piles from their houses.
“I’m asking people to stop this nonsense right now. These are adults jumping out of windows,» he claimed.
According to Walsh, he was appalled by videos appearing on social media showing people jumping out of their upstairs windows right into snow piles.
“This isn’t Loon Mountain, this is the city of Boston, where we’re trying to remove snow off of the street and it becomes very dangerous. And the last thing we want to do is respond to an emergency call where somebody jumped out of the window because they thought it was a funny thing to do,» said Walsh.
Boston has been in the throes of a full-blown snow crisis which has had a serious impact on local businesses with February’s snow fall breaking all records. Amid this troubling time for the city authorities, the locals have turned snow-covered Boston into a huge playground, and duly recording their mischief on social media.
However, the Mayor’s plea to abstain from jumping into snow piles has actually fanned the flame of the craze. According to The Huffington Post, some residents admitted they weren’t aware of this trend before the mayor’s speech, and now they intend to try it.
Meanwhile in Russia, citizens long used to heavy snow are continuing their quest to become famous on YouTube. On February 6, 23-year old Alexander Chernikov from Barnaul, Altai region, in attempt to obtain glory on the Internet, jumped from the roof of a ten-story building. The local “superman” also set fire to himself before leaping into the snow below. The daredevil recorded the event using a GoPro camera strapped to his head, which captured every breathtaking moment of his 30-meter descent. The video, called «Jump 30 meters — My Vision,» was uploaded to his YouTube account on the same day of the spectacle. According to some reports Alexander, who intends to become a professional stuntman, was later arrested and taken to hospital with internal injuries.
‘I declare to the world – human possibilities are endless. We just need to be able to open them in ourselves,” said Chernikov.
