What would happen if you jumped off a plane at 30,000 ft???

Question

Please no dumb comments

Would you survive or die

Im sorry, with a parachute

Answer 1

The sudden depressurization that would come with jumping out of an airplane at 30,000 feet would be enough to kill you. That's about 5 miles up in the air. Just opening the door of a plane that high up would be enough to suck its contents out of the door, because the amount of gravity pushing in on the plane would be more than the forces pushing out, and same goes for your body, so basically: You would open the door, be sucked outside, and your eardrums would likely explode, as well as other severe damage that would be done to your head and body (your head would implode). 14,000 feet is considered "extreme" skydiving height, by the way.

Answer 2

that really depends on the nature of the area you are in. Someone has done that and survived because she landed on a snowy mountain. Are you wearing a parachute. Are you, perhaps, on a plane over a much smaller planet with a weaker gravitational force? I would say on Earth you are most likely to die by falling 30,000 ft off of... anything really.

Answer 3

Without a parachute, you'd die.
With a parachute but, without protection against cold and without Oxygen, you'd probably die.
With a parachute, protection and Oxygen, you'd survive, as long as the 'chute didn't fail.
If you jumped, with or without a parachute, and was blown into the engine (propeller or Jet nacelle), you'd die.

Answer 4

Mt Everest is 20,320 ft. You might survive if you had oxygen, a thermally insulated suit, helmet with face mask (think frost bite), and, of course, a parachute. I'm not sure if the suit would have to be pressurized, but it's getting close.

Answer 5

You would more than likely die, however there is 1 case of someone surviving a freefall from over 30,000 feet and surviving.

See source link.

Answer 6

you would become unconscious from lack of oxygen first within 20 to 30 seconds, unless you carry oxygen. Without a parachute, also, chances of survival on impact would be very small.

Answer 7

I've done a HALO jump from 31,500 ft.

You have oxygen to breathe, and you're wearing a mask to ensure that you get it.

Your terminal velocity is only around 200 miles per hour, no matter how far you free-fall.

You open your chute (or it opens automatically), and you float gently down to Earth again.

Skydiving is FUN! When you turn 16, you can try it with parental consent.

Answer 8

Are you serious?

Ok, there's like a million criteria to figure that out. Normally, if you fall from 12,000 feet, its a miracle. At 30,000 feet, you have a better chance of winning the lottery; in midair before you hit the ground.

Answer 9

You'd die, with or without a parachute.

Answer 10

If you have a parachute, and know how to use it, and it actually opens, then you will most likely survive.

Without it, and the constant acceleration due to gravity will cause you to land with a rather high speed. I fear you might die.
