The Top 5 Worst Things To Drop Off The Empire State Building

Getting this high can be
very dangerous.

Ever since the “Mythbusters” did a show disproving the myth that a penny dropped off the top of the Empire State Building could kill someone, everyone seems to think it’s okay to chuck shit off the Empire State Building. So maybe a penny won’t land on someone’s head and burn a hole all the way down and exit out their butthole, but it would still be painful and there are a lot of other objects that would probably cause much more damage. Here are the top 5 worst things to drop off the Empire State Building:

5. Silver dollar coin

A penny may be relatively harmless, however a silver dollar is a different story.  A penny has a mass of 2.5 grams whereas a Seated Liberty silver dollar has a mass of 26.73 grams. That’s more than ten times the stopping power of a penny.

Also don't throw them because a lot of them are rare and worth a good amount of money.

4. A phone

An iPhone weighs around 112 grams. That’s almost 5 times the mass of a Seated Liberty silver dollar. Plus, losing your phone is a pain in the ass.

Yeaaaahhh... That's gonna leave a mark.

3. Grand piano

A Steinway grand piano weighs 616 lbs or 280 kg. That’s 280,000 grams. That’s 112,000 times the weight of a single penny.

Throwing pianos off the roof? Who do you think you are, Judge Doom?

2. A sack of pennies

So maybe one penny won’t kill anyone walking on the sidewalk, but a giant sack of pennies would be pretty bad. If you’re going to dump a sack of money off the Empire State Building make it a sack of dollar dollar bills, yo.

A single penny might not be a big deal, but there is strength in numbers.

And the number one worst thing to drop off the roof of the Empire State Building is…

1. A baby

Far and away a baby is the worst thing to drop off the Empire State Building. Not only is it a serious danger to the people walking below, but it’s a baby. You’re not supposed to do that. What’s wrong with you? Even if the baby is already dead, even if the baby is not HUMAN, you don’t drop it off a roof. I don’t care if it’s a human baby, a gorilla baby, or a cow baby, you don’t drop babies off of the Empire State Building. That’s insane.

Baby skulls aren't fully formed so it's not good to throw them off the Empire State Building.
