An American man met his demise in the greater Bangkok suburb of Nontha Buri after plummeting out of the ninth-floor window of a rental building. For some reason, falling deaths, especially those of foreigners, have seemed to become an increasingly common occurrence in Thailand. In this most recent incident, a man that Pak Kret police identified as Mr Campi was reported to have fallen out of a window on the ninth story of a building in Muang Thong Thani in the Nontha Buri province. He was 43 years old and died from a head injury sustained from the massive fall. […]

Article indicates that the man who fell 9 stories had apparent head injuries from the fall.

 points to mention.

1) It wasn't the fall that killed the American man. It was the sudden stop.

2) If the American man had been wearing a motorcycle helmet before dropping 9 floors, then apparent head injuries would have been minimized.

Ad 1) That's why people who claim a fear of heights are wrong (they can look at a cloud from the ground up without fear). It's depths they're afraid of.

Ad 2) The head-on impact speed after a fall like that is about 85 km/h. The head might be a in somewhat more presentable shape afterwards (at the cost of neck vertebrae; the energy has to go somewhere after all), but the warranty on the helmet would be voided. Why would anyone want to waste a good helmet just for the looks of it?
