Dare devil Morris

Morris is a gambler. One day he bets Shlomo $1,000 that he can jump from a 13 storey building onto the concrete street below without hurting himself. Shlomo thinks Morris is off his head and accepts the bet.
So how did he win the $1000?

It was an underground building, except for the 13th story that was sticking out of the ground. As why would anybody build this building, beats me.

If he is alien, he can survive anything. Skyscraper falls especially.

| hidden: | | As stated in the second post, he wore lots and lots of padding? |
Or | hidden: | He jumped and died. Shlomo takes the money out of Morris's wallet.
Hey, you never said who won . |

Although "he" generally refers to the last male person mentioned - i.e. Morris

Or, quite commonly, the subject of the last sentence - i.e. Shlomo.
