Personally I thought someone would need oxygen and then freeze but a couple of places have her as surviving. Learn something everyday.
Name: Vesna Vulovic
Place: Serbska Kamenice, Czechoslovakia
Date: January 26, 1972
Length of fall: 33,000 feet
More: When a Yugoslav DC9 exploded in mid air, as a suspected result of a terrorist bombing, Vesna Vulovic plummeted over 33,000 feet to land on a snowy slope.
Vesna Vulovic was paralyzed from the waist down, but later recovered and was able to walk after 27 days in a coma. She was the only survivor and holds the record for the longest fall.

According to Mythbusters it is around 30000 feet. It was a stewardess that survived a mid-air plane breakup.
