I just took a huge whipper off my desk chair.....whew..
28 feet isn't that bad at Smith, so I'll chestbeat for a moment, that I have when I fell that distance and further (squeeled like a school girl).
But to think about what Kev boner wrote. The guy was pretty far off the deck with a couple of draws below his crap pieces. From a leader's view that would look pretty intimidating. So given the circumstances in the middle of a very crowded area, I give the fall a solid 8.
