The airplane was struck by lightning during a severe thunderstorm and exploded in mid air, disintegrating two miles up.
This oughta be helpful for nipping that fear of flying in the bud.

Bunch of idiots ITT... all you have to do is carry some LSD with you. When you fall, start flapping your arms as fast as you can and just take flight.

I don't think that in theory there is any chance of surviving the impact... even the most ultimate land will have so much impact throughout your whole body that the damage is to letal.

Given that a few people have survived these falls, I think you're paddling upstream with the idea that survival is impossible.

Maybe it's one of those cases where the theory is right and the data is wrong and those people actually haven't survived.

There may be certain kinds of trees that are good for breaking your fall if you fall through them. Or that may have just been a ruse another kid pulled on me daring me to try it back in my tree climbing days.

These people have survived freefall with a loose use of the freefall term, but if nr 3 is true what you say has happened.

Find the fattest person on the plane and land on them. It may also help to use their clothes as a parachute.

But then you need to look at a naked fat person the whole way down. Gotta be a better way.

Just do a tandem with her on top, and flip her over at the bottom.
