I think the vogue physicist's answer to this one is that, although not
actually doing it, your body (or, rather, the probability that your body
might exist) will exibit a "tendency" to plummet thirty stories towards a
painful and potentially non-aesthetically-pleasing death. . . Probably.
But don't worry, it might never happen.
