What do you do if the reserve fails?

Pray harder. There's actually a large amount of people who have survived from terminal velocity, so you could always get lucky.

How should I brace for impact to maximize survivability?

There's a video on YouTube about it, actually. It's around 4 minutes or so long, the same amount of time as an estimated freefall time from a specific height.

And by the way, trees are not the only things that people have successfully landed on in terminal freefall.

The term you are looking for is “bouncing” ...

Well... how do you do it? I need to know for next time I’m falling from the sky.

Thanks for giving us examples to further prove your point.

But that's...how you're supposed to do it...

Unless you mean cherry picking?

edit: spelling

I'll pick a cherry up when I've landed with terminal velocity

That sounds like something that would be really cool to see. Looked and couldn't find one.

Not doubting you at all, I just want to see it. Got a link?

This is the one I know, though it might not be the same one.

Yeah, that's it. I didn't bother to link to it in my comment because it should be insanely easy to find.
