Is it Possible to jump out of a flying airplane without a parachute on your back and live?

Question

I've been sky diving and i was asked that Question. I would like to here some of your answers.

Answer 1

No dumbass!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Yes it is, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Basically, the idea is to slow down, and spread the impact.

When dropping, try to aim for something "soft", such as trees or snow, avoid the water, because you won't be swimming very well after you land.

In the air, keep the sky diving position, slow down as much as you can. When you get close to the ground, start speeding up in forward direction, so you get the most cushioning out of whatever it is you're landing in.

when there are no trees or snowbanks, don't move forward, just go straight down. Thanks to wind resistance you won't go very fast.

When you land, split the impact. bend forward slightly, feet first and arms behing you.

Land on your feet, then ankles, rear legs, then your bottom, your hand, your elbows and finally your shoulders. Try to roll into your landing.

Now comes the important part. If you're religious, you start praying really hard, or you cross your fingers, or have good karma or whatever. You wil need some help if you make it, because you'll have a pair of broken legs and arms, and serious internal bleeding, but there's a decent chance you will still be breathing.

Oh, Don't try this at home.

Answer 3

I don't believe so...you probably have a better chance of getting bitten by shark than surviving a jump out of a plane withouth a parachute.

Answer 4

Actually yes its possible one way,if your learning and have an instructor hooked to you you both would use the same parachute.Otherwise um i don't think its the funest game to play.Good Luck trying however.

Answer 5

I know of someone who jumped with a defective chute and lived.

After a long recovery, he took up scuba diving.

Answer 7
