The knees bent and the arms together to cover your face and midriff is called a PLF by the US army (Parachute Landing Fall) and back in 1991 I fell 60 feet during a rock climbing fall off of a bluff and going into a PLF saved my life. Lots of broken bones because I hit a rock on bottom when I rolled when I hit the ground, but I survived. And I know it wasn't an astronomical fall like the ones you described, but it was far enough and I can vouch that the actions you provided to the viewers of this video concerning surviving such falls do work :)

When you talked about temperatures, I'm surprised you didn't mention the temperature rise that occurs from the friction of air. Isn't it pretty substantial? I am a skydiver, and everytime it was pretty chilly up there (about -20/-25 degrees celsius), we would be cold in the plane, but as soon as we jumped, we heated back up and it felt pretty natural.

[@samirkilachand]

Fellow skydiver here. That’s just the adrenaline plus free fall is just a minute

@@samirkilachand I mean, all my instructors would tell me it's the air friction (which makes a lot of sense actually).

He then directed his fall into a river bank and landed using karate technique. He was behind enemy lines so had to hand fight his way out. His friends couldn’t believe their eyes when he strolled in the pub that night and told them the story of how he survived with only a slight bruise on his knee and some cuts on his knuckles from his hand fights.

[@Setmose]

Insanely, I had thought about this before seeing this video. My thought was that I would grab a blanket in the cabin before breakup or jumping out the door. Holding onto the blanket would be a small version of a failed "roman candle" parachute deployment, and might give you that added margin. Actually, I hardly fly at all anymore, so it's "academic" for me.

[@Tholin-tm7ps]

Yes nice idea but your hands will be tired unless you are that strong and you wouldn't be able to steer as much as you can in box position i think 😅

[@Tholin-tm7ps]

Yes nice idea but your hands will be tired unless you are that strong and you wouldn't be able to steer as much as you can in box position i think 😅

[@7mario7]

A better option is to put a blanket under you...Aladdin style

[@SF-fb6lv]

As long as you can hold onto the blanket the entire time of your freefall. Grab a pullup bar and just hang there. Time how long you can hold on. Even a minute and a half is really hard. Anything more than a 20,000 foot fall, and you'd probably black out because of thinner air. So a 20,000 foot fall slowed down with blanket to 50 feet per second, (good luck surviving 50 feet per second), is still 20k/50 = 400 seconds ~7 minutes. Seven minutes of hanging on at 1/4 of your terminal velocity. If terminal velocity is 200 feet per second, and you weight 140 pounds, the force of the air resistance is also 140 pounds. Since air resistance goes roughly to the square of the velocity, 50 feet per second wind force of your body would be only 1/16th of 140 pounds or only 9 pounds. which means for your acceleration to be zero, the other 140-9=131 pounds of drag needs to be handled by the blanket you spoke of. So now you are trying to hang on to the blanket for SEVEN MINUTES with 131/140 = over 93% of you body weight. I doubt you could do it. Sorry.

That's what I was thinking, like figuratively turn your body into a plane

[@Justin73791]

Not really. While you are increasing the horizontal vector of your speed, your vertical one is unchanged (and possibly even increased depending on your attempted angle of attack). The vertical vector is what will kill you. Even if you succeed in increasing your horizontal vector it doesn't really do any favors. For example imagine jumping out of a car on the highway. You're not falling but 2 feet, but the change in horizontal speed when you hit the ground will not be pretty.

[@chandir7752]

I think it's comparable to landing on a steep hill instead of the flat ground, it won't really save you. But maybe landing perfectly on a huge (HUGE) half pipe would..?

[@sanikspaceman6534]

​@@Justin73791 But the vertical acceleration and speed depends on the gravity force, u cant accelerate the same way vertical if some energy goes horizontal. And what kills me is the fast decelerateion which will be prob. lower. EDIT: But i guess you are somehow right, because to accelerate horizontal i have to change my own angle, wich will reduce the wind resistance and allowing me to have a higher vertical top speed.

This is really great to know! Not that I fly much these days! 13:56 with regards to children surviving, I would say the amount of kinetic energy you possess is really important here: KE = 1/2 m.v^2. Sure the velocity is hugely important, but if you're half the weight of the guy in the next seat, when you impact the ground you have half the energy of those bones trying to force themselves through your body.

In 2010 I was rafting the Deleware water gap with my friends, and we saw a bunch of locals cliff jumping. There were two jump points, about 10 and 20 feet that people were going from. Then one guy said “who wants to do Kamikaze with me?” I said hell ya! So we climbed maybe 100 yards downstream, and got to this cliff that he claimed was 70 ft. Obviously, I have no idea if this was accurate… but I assure you, looking down from it, it was HIGH. We raft there annually so I’ve passed that same spot many times with many people, and they all agree 70 feet looks “about” right. Anyway, I jump and make the mistake of immediately pencilling, rather than flailing and trying to slow my fall and then straightening at the last second. I hit the water basically vertical with butt clenched and feet locked and straight, but leaning very slightly left. The impact I felt shocked me in a way I’ve never felt or could convey… I can’t explain the force. It ripped my bathing suit clean off my body, and the ENTIRE left side of my body, from lower leg to shoulder, was bruised to hell. I used to be a hockey goalie and would routinely leave with welts that looked like pictures of galaxies they were so multicolored. This put them all to shame. Luckily other than being banged up and the embarrassment of having to climb back in my raft butt naked, I had no real injuries, but the ride home was extremely uncomfortable to say the least. Moral of the story, the water isn’t much better, if I had landed any less vertical idk what would have happened, I’m sure I would have shattered some bones. If you land flat I have no illusion you’d be dead. Don’t jump from high places to impress your friends, lol. The worst part was some chick was recording it with her phone, but she wasn’t in our group so I never got the footage. Only proof is my friends word and a shredded bathing suit.

Could try having one foot hit the ground before the other, and be in a slightly less than vertical position so that the shock-wave doesn't travel straight up your spine. Just crumple your legs (one after the other)... I only fell from about 5m like that, max speed roughly 35Km/h (from splat calculator. About 1/3 average terminal velocity). It hurt a lot! (A real good limp, thought I'd broken a leg), nice impact bruise up one shin, but no breaks, and no lasting damage. A real oh sh*t! and awkward fall moment.

When ever I fly commercially I always bring my parachute with me. It’s considered carry on. So I put it right under my seat. I always said the government should make everybody Skydive and get a license, kinda like a drivers license. If you fly commercially often. Skydiving is an amazing sport. Being scared is what it’s all about in the beginning. And when you leave the plane, all those scary feeling go away. So on that note when you are falling belly to earth (box position) at terminal velocity, you are traveling around 5.5 seconds for every 1,000 feet. So I would wait till I was 500 ft off the ground to go feet first. 5 seconds doesn’t sound like a lot of time. But in free fall it’s considered a life time. And going feet first to early will make you gain speed.
