Falling from a height of 5000 meters can survive?

On the night of March 24, 1944, the 21-year-old Nicholas Stephen Alkemade, then a member of the British royal fleet, flew on the Lancaster II called 'S for Sugar' back home after the air raid on Berlin. The 'S for Sugar' was suddenly attacked by a German Luftwaffe Junkers Ju 88 night-fighter. The aircraft of Alkemade caught fire, and beyond the pilot's control, the fire burned the parachutes on the plane. Not wanting to die from the scorching fire, Alkemade young corporal had to jump off the plane at an altitude of nearly 5500m without a parachute.

Nicholas Stephen Alkemade (1923-1987).

How would you feel if you rushed out of the plane from a height of 5500m without being equipped though? Panic? Hopeless? Or will you surrender everything?

That clash of the night of March 24, 1944 caused 4 of the 7 crew members to die. However, Alkemade was lucky to escape from that height. The branches and snow layers below saved him from the death hand, he only sprained his leg after this fall. Alkemade was discharged from the army in May 1945 and returned to England and worked in the chemical industry and died on June 22, 1987.

In fact, the free fall from a few thousand meters height is unlikely to kill you.

In fact, the free fall from a few thousand meters height is unlikely to kill you, there are many cases of victims surviving that horrifying experience. If one day is not beautiful, you unfortunately fall from a plane to the ground, make sure you have enough knowledge to help you survive.

If we fall off an airplane at an altitude of 3500m, we only have about 60s in the air before hitting the ground. With such a speed of about 58m / s, you won't have much time to think, so quickly get rid of your fears and find a small source of survival.

Avoid plunging into the water while in a face-down position or lying on your back.

Country. Certainly, with such a tremendous drop rate, the water-splashing and slashing will not be as comfortable as when we went to the water park but at least we will not die. However, when falling from that height, the depth of the water body must reach at least 4m, you will have a chance to survive. Avoid plunging into the water while in a face-down position or lying on your back.

Plant. When falling from above, you cannot know the structure of the branches below and the strength of the branches. However, Alkemade also survived thanks to falling through the trees and supported by thick snow. If you can't find any water around, try to aim for the trees and hope not to have too big branches on your fall.

Aim for trees if you can't find large enough water blocks.

Hollow structure. Imagine an airplane on fire in the sky of Hanoi, you don't want the painful death caused by the fire, remember the article you read, you rush out of the plane to find a chance to survive. However, you can't find trees big enough and can't find a swimming pool between the same message and the roof. At this time, your best choice is the roofs of corrugated iron roofs, big truck crates or even 7-seat cars. Hopefully the things that you fall into will crumble, though you will have to compensate a decent amount of money for the owner but be happy because you have a chance to survive.

The rooftops will be your last choice.

The common point that these methods want to aim for is that the fall force distributes the structures that are not too hard around, which will help you avoid serious injuries.

While the above methods do not guarantee the possibility of surviving for you, but when you have fallen from a height of 3500m, what worse can happen? Do you want to make a chicken waiting for meat or an eagle practicing waving?
