If you were in a car crash at 30 mph is it the same as droping from a four story building?

It's a reasonably simple calculation, so without showing the working, a 30mph crash into a solid object is at the same speed you would be going if you were dropped from 8.62 metres (28 feet 3 inches) which is probably the height of a 2 storey building.
A 30mph crash head-on into another car doing 30mph would be equivalent to dropping 34.5 metres (113 feet 2 inches) which is maybe the height of a 10 storey building.
Note:
This only works out speed, not the effects of crashing or being dropped. You are much more likely to survive a crash rather than a drop at the same speed.

Sort of. Imagine: You are sitting in your car, a crane lifts it up by the back bumper so that the front bumper is Fourty feet off the ground. When the crane dropps you it will hit at the same speed as a 50 mph crash. Go up four floors and look down to get an idea of why the comparison is used.
