If you have to jump, it’s often recommended to look for a large body of water, like a sea or a river, and then try to aim your fall towards that. Even if you do all of that perfectly, your chances of survival are extremely slim. However, assuming a feet-first position to ensure a knife-like entry into the water or a head-down position, just like divers do, can help you minimize the surface area of your body that bears the brunt of the huge force. Once you break the surface of the water, you will start decelerating at an extremely high rate. Human beings can sustain 100 G’s for short bursts of time, but in the case of falling from a plane, it would be fairly higher than that (around 300 G’s). No human could survive that… not a regular Homo sapien, at least!\n
