Well, you DID say that without something to arrest your descent or soften your impact, you would die or be really hurt. So, you really don't have wiggle room to cover dying in mid-fall (especially if the force that slows you down happens after the fatal heart attack).
However, you've shown it's a moot point.

Well, you know me, I have to take things to the ridiculous extremes, but here is what I wrote:
If you jump off a 60 story window without a means to arrest your descent or softening your impact, it will either hurt a lot or kill you.
Nowhere does it say that it is the impact that kills you, the verb being defined is "jump" not "impact". Impact was used as one of the two verbs as countering examples of how the jump will not kill you.
See, ridiculous, but oh so typically TS :-)
