Punching someone into a "Fine Red Mist"

[Rupert]

I think GURPS is probably a little generous when it comes to mid-range falls (and perhaps a bit punitive when it comes to small falls) - that 10 story fall onto hard concrete would do 5d damage to the average person, which is unlikely to kill them unless they hit head-first. It'll almost certainly destroy any limbs or extremities that hit first, but as there's no mechanism to transfer damage to the head, it takes 20+ points of damage to force a death check if the initial hit location isn't the skull.

Heck, if they land flat (i.e. locations 9-11 are 'hit') they'll 'only' be having to worry about conciousness, and in a few days they'll be walking around, and in a few more, they'll be a full-speed, etc.

While do just get up from great falls and walk away every so often, in most cases that's a serendipitous event (they land on something soft and sloped, etc.) rather than being really tough or lucky in how they land (rather than what they land on).
