Anything mouse-sized or smaller will survive a fall from any height.
Drop it from high enough up and it'll burn up on reentry. You'd need to equip it with an ant-sized spacesuit to stop it from dying from other causes first, though.
Ants do not get DVT as they have all have a daily dose of aspirin and keep hydrated. Those that spend time at altitude where compression stockings (very small ones).
Thank you.
Was the monkey OK?
Given their inherent strength to weight ratio, if I wore ants on my head instead of a helmet would I be immune to injury when falling from my bike? Might wrap the debate up once and for all.
How fat is this ant?
A trip from 4' will kill you due to rotation and you landing head first. 12' and you should land on your feet (but you will break them).It was a long time ago when I had to sign site pemits so I could be wrong.
I walked off a 8ft split level wall a couple of years ago and landed head first.
The resulting cut to my forehead was apparently unstitchable as I'd ripped all the skin off on either side!
Didn't die though, does that make me an ant?
what about if the ant fell on Jupiter, would it kill it then? But jupiter doesnt have a solid surface and is made up of hydrogen and helium so the ant would sink and be crushed.

how come when I wang mice out of the bedroom window (when my cat brings them in) they seem to die on impact from one floor up then?
How does the horse splash?
Do ants always land on their feet or is that cats?
An ant picks up speed as she falls through the air.
"she"? Aren't all ants male apart from the queen?

Quite messily I expect, its insides become its outsides.

I don't think cats land on ants' feet.
You could artificially increase the ant's speed by moving the ground towards the ant - use something like a cricket bat for that.
My uncle shoved my ant down the stairs, she's dead!
Don't drop an ant. It's done nothing to you. There might come a day when it's dropping you.
... if it turns into a gi-ant?
IGMC.
Sorry, I was misquoting:
antmusic hur hur hur etc
"she"? Aren't all ants male apart from the queen?
No, they're all female apart from the winged ones that come out at this time of year.
if said ant was on a conveyer belt, would this not squash it?
pretty sure you can kill a snail by dropping it out a window?
You can kill a snail by dropping it out of a window into a bowl of salt. I don't know if dropping an ant out of a very high window into a bowl of salt would work, but you'd need a good aim and factor in cross winds and stuff.
if you could fit a small ant into The Large Hadron Collider and fire it around and around Geneva at speeds approaching the speed of light, do you reckon it would die? or would you have to fire another small ant the other way so they collide?
I think you'd need the ant to actually reach the speed of light to sufficiently up the ante.

You also need to factor in whether it's a Gliding Ant :
(The first one is a control ant btw - it doesn't glide)

Pushing a drugged ant out of a plane which is flying over the sea should do it - Gliding Ant or not Gliding Ant.
do you have to drug it? can't you put it in the freezer for a bit like they do with flies?
