    It is what make it risky to jump from the Burj Kalifa, at least on the last meter.

      And yet, jumping from the Burj Khalifa at 1m off the ground is not very dangerous, so it’s not the Burj Khalifa that’s doing it

        And even if you jump from higher up, it’s the ground that does it, still not the Burj Khalifa.

      Wouldn’t the electromagnetic force be what makes jumping from the Burj Khalifa risky? It’s not the fall that kills you, it’s the sudden stop.
