In Season 3 Part 2 episode 17, We see Armin being roasted By toe Colossal
Titan. After He "makes it quick for him" Armin's ODM gear falls off and he is
launched, But how in the world did a nearly dead person survive a fall from
60+ meters(he was blasted up) I don't remember anyone saying that they saw him
falling and saved him, and when we saw him again there were no broken bones.
So how did he survive?

How did Armin survive after being roasted and blasted away from the Colossal Titan?


Good question. For me it‘s not really adding up either but I assume someone
did catch him because falling from this height while already having your skin
burnt off is almost impossible to survive. If he didn‘t fall from like 60
meters it would make a lot more sense. Also I assume that he really was half
dead but maybe the most important organs somehow didn‘t take as much damage.
It still looks weird next to Erwin who in comparison to Armin wasn‘t really
injured. It was probably just convenience for the plot to be honest.

The characters of Attack On Titan in general can take lots of damage as well.
I‘ve seen some discussion about how this really hot gas that comes from titans
should damage the characters lungs when they inhale it in some scenes and it
doesn‘t affect them at all.

You could survive that, but the likeliness is very low.

[Joan Murray survived a 14,500 feet drop and the only reason she survived was
because she landed on a mound of fire ants which stung her so many times,
adrenaline started to surge whiched is what caused her heart to stay
beating](https://people.com/premium/beating-the-odds/).

There are also other factors that could play into this.

  1. We see that in the panel where Armin is falling, [his anchors are still anchored to the Colossal Titan's teeth](https://official-complete-2.eorzea.us/manga/Shingeki-No-Kyojin/0082-030.png), which could've possibly slowed his descent. This is further supported in the [anime where he doesn't seem to be blasted away very hard.](https://youtu.be/Zxnk_ZzKmtE?t=184)

  2. Characters have survived very similar feats, [such as Mikasa falling from a very large height without any injuries](https://youtu.be/g1jDgwysPcA?t=167). The existence of 3DMG just doesn't make any sense if we applied real life physics either. You can just chock it up to suspension of disbelief .

  3. Plot Armor. Armin is a main character.
