Could you jump out of an airplane w/ out a parachute and still live?

Question

Could you jump out of an airplane w/ out a parachute and still live?

Answer 1

ya sure when the plane is taxing or in parking bay

Answer 2

Depends on how high off the ground you are...If the plane were on the ground, then yes, you could...

Answer 3

That depends on if you are up in the air or not. Some have jumped out and lived. Peace

Answer 4

yeah,just jump before the plane takes off!!!

Answer 5

1% chance... but still is it a chance you are willing to make?

Answer 6

As some one said, yes one documented case in WWII of a US gunner that bailed (fell out) of a bomber with out a chute. The Germans found him and did not beleive him, but they found the plane and his chute still in it. He landed in trees and a 8' snow bank. The writer says he broke every bone in his body. That is not true; he was hurt, both legs broke. Also it was from about 22,000 feet. A flight attendant in a plane bombed by a terrorist survived the fall in the aircraft wreckage from 33,000 feet in 1972, Jat Airways (Serbian) over than Czech republic. She had bad back damage and was in a coma for a month. There have been cases of people falling out of tall buildings and surviving, like the 47th floor. You can break your neck falling off a 3 foot step or in the bath tub. The chance of surviving is TEN to the minus 99 power. That is 0.0000(lots of zeros) and a one.

Answer 7

yes a man did but he fell out. he fell 30000 feet and hit a hugh pine tree and broke almost all his bones but lived

Answer 8

Yes.

There was a WWII bomber that survived by hitting some pine trees' branches, which broke and slowed him down. Then he landed on some snow.

He fell 30,000 feet.

He had a sprained ankle afterwards.

No other injuries.

Answer 9

It's a very small chance that you would live, but there have been people who have survived jumping out of an airplane.

Answer 10

Sure. It is not the fall that kills, it is the sudden stop at the end of the fall.

Answer 11

maybe if it's on the ground and not moving???

Answer 12

Try it...

Answer 13

Yes, I've done it hundreds of times, but only on the ground.

Answer 14

A hand full have lived.  The VAST majority did not survive the sudden stop.  

The example of the WWII gunner bailing out and surviving the fall is true.  

  

Answer 15

very small chance, but yes.

Some parachuters have had their chute fail to open and live because they hit some sort of vegetation etc.

If you hit water or any hard surface you're gonna die though.

Answer 16

1% ??

I'm thinking .001%

Answer 17

Depends where you land. You hit concrete - bye bye. If you land in a tree, or in a lake (assuming you hit the surface of the water a certain way), you have a very slim chance of living.

Or if you land in a giant pillow, you're probably going to live.

Answer 18

There are a number of cases here another happened in South America,a plane broke up in flight in a storm a flight attendant survived and came to still strapped to her seat everybody else dead.6 days later she found a small village in the jungle.Happened in 1968 I think.They made a movie of that.Here is another one but she was in the tail section.
