Yes, you would because you'd fall twice.
Come on, now. This is a serious discussion.
Unless you're referring to bouncing. I could see falling, decking with a good bounce, then falling again. Frequently the case with double length slings.

I don't use slings most of the time. I stopped using them after I fell a little too far one time. I do a lot of down climbing to remove gear to remove rope drag, and then I may put some slings. There is no need to take those longer falls with slings.

You might want to look up the definitions of facetious, parody, and satire.
