by Slap Daddy on July 14th, 2009
actually it is possable to survive and there are a few things you can do to give yourself a better chance at surviving.
Mind you you have to do all these things while screaming and flailing about like a maniac.
heres the link of the how to

Cry a bit, probably crap my pants, but the odds of me being in an airplane with no parachute are almost nil. A jet, maybe, but not an airplane unless I'm in handcuffs or shackles.
Did I mention screaming?

By the time you have recalled that article - it could be too late!

I've actually thought of this in the past....
-flips
-twirls
-somersaults
-spins
...and ultimately, I'd pick an object on the ground and try by best to land right on it.
The likelihood that someone would live is astronomical. I'd just accept my fate and have a little fun with it.

Drink a Red Bull and hope it gives you wings.

Enjoy the view and the thrill!
Good news is, you'll never feel the impact.
.....
That being said, terminal velocity's about 200-300 mph.
If you're super lucky, maybe a glancing blow in deep powder on a very steep Rocky Mountain slope might just give you an actual snowball's chance in hell.
.....
Also, rumor/urban legend has it though that a WWII aviator fell out of his bomber without a shoot from over 15000 feet, hit the ground, bounced, and walked away. It supposedly had something to do with a peculiar type of spongey sediment with a lot of soft & loose brush and dentritis on top.
...
But the fact remains that even an impact at as little as 35 mph against something hard, solid, and comparatively unmovable will rip your aorta apart.

Pray for a 'life of Brian'-esque event, and hope to land in a UFO

It happens to me all the time. What I do is open my eyes and wake up.
by Suby the Coat on January 5th, 2009
Use the air resistance and try to move towards a waterbody to cushion the landing.
This will work only for those who know swimming.

Pray
by Dylan K. on July 14th, 2009
Aim for the steepest hill. People have fallen from planes onto hills and lived - I forgot if they got slowed down by some tree branches and stuff, but lived nonedaless. A nice steep muddy hillside should do the trick. Ask someone to water it down real good before you do it though.
by Zack on July 14th, 2009
See if you can kiss your own arse goodbye before you hit the ground.

Grab hold of someone falling out of the plane with a parachute.

I'd be thinking about Megadeth - High Speed Dirt. "I'm a dirt torpedo" :)

You have seconds to live (most likely), so I would get right with my maker, then get ready for a very sudden stop!

Leave it, the plane will be too heavy for you to try to save anyway...What a hero....

Try and swim through the sky until you can grab a plane or a (really big) bird
by Is NancyPancy on January 7th, 2009
I don't think I could do anything but I would be praying to God for my love one's.
by Drastic on July 14th, 2009
Spread out so air resistance will slow you down just a bit. People have survived from those falls before, though it's extremely rare.
by .avallach on January 5th, 2009
Die, most likely.
by Mr. Knowitall- The Poli Sci Guy on July 15th, 2009
start to pray, then write my will, write a good bye letter, call my relatives, assuming its a long fall
by Donkey Kong on January 5th, 2009
Bend over, put your head between your legs, and kiss your ass goodbye.

Enjoy the rush... it will be your last.

Spread your wings and enjoy your last minute or so on earth flying.
by mazzerdazzer18 on July 16th, 2009
pray to your god..lol
by skydive on August 25th, 2009
Hope no one is actualy taking that article seriously. The "how to survive a long fall" article was written as a joke. Your body position on impact from terminal velocity will make no difference whatsoever, besides the fact that a "feet first" freefall position is very difficult to achieve.
by Conor on July 15th, 2009
Relax enjoy the view and be prepared to make quite a BIG impact! And may god help those poor people who are gonna have to clean up your sorry carcass! :) +5

Kiss your ass goodbye

Er, prepare to die!

Hope and pray I die of a heart attack or pass out before hitting the ground.
Could a blue tarp 16'x12', rigged like a parachute, slow a person down enough that they wouldn't get hurt when they hit the ground?
