4 thoughts on “How to Survive Falling Out of a Plane”
By spreading your arms and legs, wind resistance means you will be travelling at around 125mph. There, already it doesn’t seem so bad does it?
I once stepped out of a van at 30mph.
In fact, 125 seems plesnty enough.
You should be looking for water that is at least twelve feet deep. If you were on a transatlantic flight it shouldn’t be hard to spot some. Diving into water at 125mph is survivable, but it’s going to sting a bit. Hitting the water with your arms straight up above your head and your body extended into as neat a line as terror allows means you’re going to lose a little skin and suffer some bruising, but at least you’ll have a great story to tell the kids. Belly-flopping will leave a pinkish stain on the surface.
I love this!
I love this article…especially the part about finding snow to land in…about 30 feet deep. This is a great article – not encouraging tho.
BTW, Mike F…Stepping out of a van at 30 mph??? I wonder how that turned out…
