I was thinking, sure there's been freak incidents of freefall being survived here and there, but has there ever been a device or stunt where a human has been allowed to fall at full speed and strike the ground, AND survive with little to no damage afterward? I am thinking as an example the Pathfinder landing where it bounced for miles, and also the egg drop contests held in every high school. Weight and volume not a problem, only speed as it cannot be slowed down like a parachute or retro rockets. Has there ever been or can there ever be a device, like a hollow geodesic sphere or balloon, that can cushion a human going 200 miles an hour?
