What Survives a Huge Fall but Dies in Water

What Survives a Huge Fall but Dies in Water …Riddle of the Day

 

Here’s a clever riddle that sounds dramatic at first, but the answer turns out to be surprisingly simple.

Take a moment and read it slowly:

“You can drop me from the tallest building and I will be fine.
But if you drop me in water, I die.
What am I?”

At first glance, it feels like the answer must be something strong or indestructible. After all, surviving a fall from the tallest building sounds impossible for most things.

So your mind might start guessing things like:

  • Metal
  • Rubber
  • A feather
  • Something extremely light or durable

But the second line changes everything.
