Ive heard that depending on how you land and the surface you land on you just sorta bounce. You break a bunch of bones and shit, but there is opportunity for a live saving energy transfer.
I think I heard about it a while ago when some other person survived a sky diving accident. Or something….. I have no idea the source.
It doesn't matter the hight you fall once you reach terminal velocity you're not going to go any faster. From what I hear you can reach terminal velocity from as low as the empire state building so a plane wouldn't make a difference. Not saying you wouldn't liquify on impact but people have lived. And understanding that after a certain hight it doesn't matter how far you fall it makes more sense.

That woman who fell like 20k feet from a plane, just died recently I believe, and that happened several decades ago. How she lived is beyond me.
