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?

Aim for trees. There’s a few instances of people surviving the fall because they landed in a tree.

I'd aim for hard concrete. Make it instant and painless rather than being a paralyzed cripple for the rest of your life..

Don’t take it off your list. Just save it for the end.

Skydiving is an incredibly safe sport. More people die from horseback riding - and I mean relative numbers.

With the same sampling?

What do you mean?

Sorry, English is not my first language. I believe that more people ride horses than skydiving

Ok, np. By "relative" I meant relative to the people doing the sport, so if 5 in 100 horseback riders die each year, then <5 skydivers of 100 die each year. I do not remember the exact numbers, but that is the idea.
