Answer 1

Not likely. Those few examples of pilots falling to Earth without aid of a parachute-like device and surviving all ended with the pilot being severely injured. However, in the overwhelming vast majority of cases of free fall, the person was killed on impact...if not before. Remember, the terminal velocity of a free falling person is around 120 mph or so.

There is one case I heard of where the pilot was tossed about in a storm cell for so long he suffocated from the lack of oxygen and/or froze to death before he fell to the ground. I also heard of a student pilot at Pensacola, FL, who survived free fall (but was seriously injured) because he landed flat in a freshly plowed field that absorbed the impact energy.

Even coming in at a shallow angle would likely result in injury because the free falling person would scrape into and across rocks, trees, and other such things that can do major damage before the body would come to rest.

Answer 2

Lt. I.M. Chisov was a Russian airman whose Ilyushin IL-4 bomber was attacked by German fighters in January of 1942. Falling nearly 22,000 feet, he hit the edge of a snow-covered ravine and rolled to the bottom. He was badly hurt but survived.

Answer 3

On impact the kinetic energy of the body has to be absorbed. If it can be done without damaging the body that is fine. But it is seldom achieved.

Answer 4

Yeah, if you land on a trampoline or something!

But otherwise, the impact would definitely cause some physical injury.

Answer 5

Pls state your source

Answer 6

if one breaks the fall then it's true to say.

Answer 7

yes if you were able to distribute your body area to a larger one bec:

P=F/A
F=force(mass*acceleartion)
A=Area

so

P=F/A
F=P/A
A=P/F
