The reports that her arms were crushed made me wonder if she changed her mind and reflexively tried to break her fall.

Ruslana: 'I'm So Lost. Will I Ever Find Myself?'
The emotional Kazakh stunner appeared to be longing for true love and meaning--a stark contrast to the glitz and superficiality of her chosen career path.
"Do not confuse love and desire. Love is the sun, desire - only flash. Desire dazzles, and the sun gives life." Love does not take away from one in order to give to another. Love - this is the essence of life. But you will not give your life to another."

Just curious about one thing. If the Rx bottle says "Take one tablet" and she took 64 tablets would that be a "yes" outcome, because the other 63 were not prescribed by her doctor?

@FOF - If I wanted to commit suicide by jumping, I would still instinctively hold out my arms as I was falling in a failed attempt to break my fall. I think you would have to be a pretty cool cucumber to be able to jump and stay motionless as you are dropping like a rock.

@chatarra - You're probably right about that... I imagined a 'leaper' would go limp and go with the flow... but as you say that would require one to be a "pretty cool cucumber".
