That sounds crazy, but according to my physics teacher it is possible to survive a skydiving fall without a parachute. If a skydiver is landing near the edge of a hill and keeps hitting it and rolling, they will gradually slow down, and while break most of their bones, they survive. One of my friends told me that it has happened but I can’t find out who or if it anyone actually did it. ---

there are many people who had parachutes on that didn’t open who survived the “bounce” as it has been called. ---

Apparently people who were shot out of their planes in (insert war name here) fell 10,000 feet or so and lived. ---

Thats insane! My physics teach told us (the class) a similar story. Luckily, it had rained the night before, so the pilot didnt die when he landed 🙂 ---

I did have a video that I can’t find now… A guy jumps out of a helicopter above a snow covered mountain wearing one of those bat suits… It has bits under your arms and between your legs. He falls towards the mountain, but instead of hitting it, he starts flying down the side of the mountain about 6 feet off the ground… It looks hell cool… like he is flying… ---

oh man there was a link on here i think? where they were testing gliders for humans…someone glided across the english channel or something - talking about a new way to deploy airborne troops… ---

> Charlotte, North Carolina: In September of 1999, Joan Murray’s main parachute failed during a jump from 14,500 feet. Her reserve opened at around 700 feet, but then deflated. She landed in a mound of fire ants, whose stinging may have helped keep her heart beating. In a coma for two weeks, she was well enough to head home six weeks later. She returned to jumping in July of 2001. [color=red] **fire ants** [/color]. haha. ---

> [@prstudio](#): > > oh man there was a link on here i think? where they were testing gliders for humans…someone glided across the english channel or something - talking about a new way to deploy airborne troops… Yep, that was an AUSTRIAN! 😃 But there is no talk about military use as far as I know. He is just an extreme parachutist and BASE-jumper. See his site: [http://www.felixbaumgartner.com](http://www.felixbaumgartner.com/) -\>projects -\>projects -\>channel crossing As far as I know he finally landed using a parachute.
