What will happen if we land on middle of a ocean
This video gave me anxiety just imagining how any of these landings would feel.
same
Imagine the pain that lady who fell 35,000 feet felt..
U wouldn’t feel it adrenaline would be so high it would just feel like a normal fall but after a couple hours it’s gonna hurt
im not sure if it would be the best desision to go with your head first. this way u would be dead instantly right? i wouldnt have to feel the pain at all.
You probably wouldn't feel anything after 1/1000th of a second when talkin about landings in this situation. The fall is what would give anxiety and terrifying thoughts & feelings. I always said I'd jump out a plane one day. This video made me choose to go metal detecting on a beach one day instead

Heh *nice copycat*
It's amazing how many decisions you can make in a free fall
Like someone said earlier, from the time you leave the plane you have the rest of your life to figure everything out.
The knees bent and the arms together to cover your face and midriff is called a PLF by the US army (Parachute Landing Fall) and back in 1991 I fell 60 feet during a rock climbing fall off of a bluff and going into a PLF saved my life. Lots of broken bones because I hit a rock on bottom when I rolled when I hit the ground, but I survived. And I know it wasn't an astronomical fall like the ones you described, but it was far enough and I can vouch that the actions you provided to the viewers of this video concerning surviving such falls do work :)
Glad to hear u survived but I'm trying to see what this position looks like?
That's some great tips u gave
Glad you made it out of that and thanks for sharing your experience. :)
His tips are absolute nonsense. I've got almost 900 skydives, and this video is just entertainment, based on fantasies.
Imagine watching this while falling, you would be dead cause of how long it took to get to the point

“Don’t land on water”
Minecraft players: *visible confusion*
_WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY_
It makes no sense to say landing on water is as bad as landing on concrete. Sorry, not buying it. According to this SAME VIDEO you need 1 metre to break your fall. Well, if you fall in water you get that meter and more.
Paul R the surface tension of the water stops you from going in as easily as if you were just walking in. When you first hit the water. The surface tension won’t break, and it’ll feel like you’re hitting concrete
Dbaaaj_76 well in one of the first minecraft games (I don’t know which one), you would die if you fall from a certain height when you hit the water

Thanks for the video. I am currently falling and that’s exactly what I need. Wish me luck!
My dad recounted a story of a skydiver he jumped with, who had both parachutes fail, but was lucky enough to fall in a patch of mud on some farmland.
He walked away mostly uninjured.
Obviously the guy decided never to jump again.
If, at first you do not succeed - then skydiving is NOT the sport for you!
It was also on Mars if I remember
Not really obvious. I knew one jumper who had a similar experience. He was very badly injured, but I'm sure he would have jumped again if he weren't wheelchair-bound.
great bullshit story
Parachutes never completely fail. He in fact had fabric over his head when he pulled his reserve. Mud is also like concrete at that speed. FACT
imagine surviving all that but you cant swim

This video deserves an oscar! Deathbed humour combined with extensive research makes it a horror movie worthy of Wes Craven. Thanks for the tips, dude, see you on the way down!
When you talked about temperatures, I'm surprised you didn't mention the temperature rise that occurs from the friction of air. Isn't it pretty substantial?
I am a skydiver, and everytime it was pretty chilly up there (about -20/-25 degrees celsius), we would be cold in the plane, but as soon as we jumped, we heated back up and it felt pretty natural.
Fellow skydiver here. That’s just the adrenaline plus free fall is just a minute
@@samirkilachand I mean, all my instructors would tell me it's the air friction (which makes a lot of sense actually).
@@TomGeorgin not much friction at 200kph. It’s more the rapid temp increase due to the rapid descent. Plus, adrenaline…
You don’t jump from 35 thousand feet
If you are feeling your temperature going up do to air friction in atmospheric pressure anywhere on Earth, you gotta bigger problems. You wouldn’t even be a smear.

Surprised my dads story isn’t in here. He told me during the war he managed to shoot down three planes which made him a prime target so he got shot down, they also shot holes in his parachute which he actually pulled off mid flight since it made him easier to shoot at. He then directed his fall into a river bank and landed using karate technique. He was behind enemy lines so had to hand fight his way out. His friends couldn’t believe their eyes when he strolled in the pub that night and told them the story of how he survived with only a slight bruise on his knee and some cuts on his knuckles from his hand fights.

Rip to those guy watching this and encountering two ads while falling
This is really great to know! Not that I fly much these days! 13:56 with regards to children surviving, I would say the amount of kinetic energy you possess is really important here: KE = 1/2 m.v^2. Sure the velocity is hugely important, but if you're half the weight of the guy in the next seat, when you impact the ground you have half the energy of those bones trying to force themselves through your body.

Your tongue-in-cheek approach is TH-cam award worthy.
Insanely, I had thought about this before seeing this video. My thought was that I would grab a blanket in the cabin before breakup or jumping out the door. Holding onto the blanket would be a small version of a failed "roman candle" parachute deployment, and might give you that added margin. Actually, I hardly fly at all anymore, so it's "academic" for me.
Yes nice idea but your hands will be tired unless you are that strong and you wouldn't be able to steer as much as you can in box position i think 😅
Yes nice idea but your hands will be tired unless you are that strong and you wouldn't be able to steer as much as you can in box position i think 😅
A better option is to put a blanket under you...Aladdin style
As long as you can hold onto the blanket the entire time of your freefall. Grab a pullup bar and just hang there. Time how long you can hold on. Even a minute and a half is really hard. Anything more than a 20,000 foot fall, and you'd probably black out because of thinner air. So a 20,000 foot fall slowed down with blanket to 50 feet per second, (good luck surviving 50 feet per second), is still 20k/50 = 400 seconds ~7 minutes. Seven minutes of hanging on at 1/4 of your terminal velocity. If terminal velocity is 200 feet per second, and you weight 140 pounds, the force of the air resistance is also 140 pounds. Since air resistance goes roughly to the square of the velocity, 50 feet per second wind force of your body would be only 1/16th of 140 pounds or only 9 pounds. which means for your acceleration to be zero, the other 140-9=131 pounds of drag needs to be handled by the blanket you spoke of. So now you are trying to hang on to the blanket for SEVEN MINUTES with 131/140 = over 93% of you body weight. I doubt you could do it. Sorry.

Exactly what happened right now
@@muhanadkhleifat3102 the injuries of the fall make me think that would be better try to accelerate the fall making a diving position to get instantly killed when you hit the land
...
So you dont break your skull, pelvis, members and organs and suffur for months on a hospital bed with no guarantee of full recovery
Same
Isnt it possible to reduce the force during the impact by moving forward? So you wont hit the ground in a 90° angel and you have the opportunity to roll and slide for a bit more to decelerate slower.
That's what I was thinking, like figuratively turn your body into a plane
Not really. While you are increasing the horizontal vector of your speed, your vertical one is unchanged (and possibly even increased depending on your attempted angle of attack). The vertical vector is what will kill you. Even if you succeed in increasing your horizontal vector it doesn't really do any favors.
For example imagine jumping out of a car on the highway. You're not falling but 2 feet, but the change in horizontal speed when you hit the ground will not be pretty.
I think it's comparable to landing on a steep hill instead of the flat ground, it won't really save you. But maybe landing perfectly on a huge (HUGE) half pipe would..?
@@Justin73791 But the vertical acceleration and speed depends on the gravity force, u cant accelerate the same way vertical if some energy goes horizontal. And what kills me is the fast decelerateion which will be prob. lower.
EDIT: But i guess you are somehow right, because to accelerate horizontal i have to change my own angle, wich will reduce the wind resistance and allowing me to have a higher vertical top speed.
I've crashed skiing about 60 miles an hour it wasn't that bad I was spinning and it was head then feet until slide to a stop I'm pretty sure that a person could but it would take a profession sky diver or the luckiest person ever!

Aim for the bushes.
@@jasminemasters7480 This is a sentiment we all learn very early on but then most of us learn around highschool that that is only the case if the water is as calm as can possibley be and the surface tension of the water is maintained. if it's rough and wavey as hell then a body of water is absolutely where you wanna be landing. It's absurd that this guy doesn't realise this.
@@Dr.Rosenbaum THERE GOES MY HEEEEEEERRRROOOOO!
@@sketch3744 He says that the reason why landing on water is bad its because it does not compress not because of surface tension plus the force of impact will knock you out and you will end up drowning.
Fell out of a plane yesterday but luckily mobile data was available. This video proved to be a life saver.
The fact that it was a toddler’s wheeled inflatable aircraft just proves the universal applicability of this video.
I just watched another of your vids about why airlines don't have parachutes. In there it was mentioned if you exited a plane at 35k feet, your lugs would likely explode, however that lady that has the world record fell out of the sky at 35k square feet and survived. It appears that your lungs don't burst at that speed. She also didn't freeze either given the lower temperatures, as mentioned in the other video.

Even worse scenario would be when you successfully able to land without dying by following these methods. You probably landed with broken legs, hands and back. But what happens after? If you landed in such a remote/isolated place where you can't even get help, and no one knows you're there. Wouldn't that be even worse? The pain you'll be in with those fractured bones will make you pass out and who knows if you'll even wake up.

@@MorsBieg Surving free fall without a functioning parachute from 30,000 ft with "just" a broken spine seems to be a pretty good deal.
In the early 1960-ies a US Marines pilot ejected from an F-8 Crusader on their ferry-flight from California to Hawaii at around 35000 ft. Chute failed to open, He balled up in the last second and survived with few broken bones. His MaeWest inflated and surfaced him, his emergency radio helped locating him.
Here I am taking mental notes as if I plan on falling from the sky any time soon...
When ever I fly commercially I always bring my parachute with me. It’s considered carry on. So I put it right under my seat. I always said the government should make everybody Skydive and get a license, kinda like a drivers license. If you fly commercially often. Skydiving is an amazing sport. Being scared is what it’s all about in the beginning. And when you leave the plane, all those scary feeling go away. So on that note when you are falling belly to earth (box position) at terminal velocity, you are traveling around 5.5 seconds for every 1,000 feet. So I would wait till I was 500 ft off the ground to go feet first. 5 seconds doesn’t sound like a lot of time. But in free fall it’s considered a life time. And going feet first to early will make you gain speed.
so basically i can survive?
The Government 🤣 What you smoking man
the stewards won't let you open the doors
@@TheBrandonbc not enough oxygen at 30000 feet I guess
@Gary Dodgson you wont freeze to death in 2 minutes. And you'll be conscious again when you have oxygen and open your chute. Doesnt mean you should bring a parachute to a plane but it can definitely save your life

Surviving decompression and being on the outside of the plane as it turns and lands after take-off can be done. There was a pilot who got sucked out the cockpit window due to faulty maintenance and the copilot and one other guy grabbed his legs and held on. (This happened after takeoff, and upon reaching cruising altitude and minutes after the seatbelt light signaled free roaming could commence. He passed out a few times, and was literally plastered to the plane. 2 men would not give up, and were sure he'd died, yet he managed to make it. There's a few videos out there on him. Pretty amazing story. (Especially if it's told by Simon Whistler, he does a good job.)
In 2010 I was rafting the Deleware water gap with my friends, and we saw a bunch of locals cliff jumping. There were two jump points, about 10 and 20 feet that people were going from. Then one guy said “who wants to do Kamikaze with me?” I said hell ya! So we climbed maybe 100 yards downstream, and got to this cliff that he claimed was 70 ft. Obviously, I have no idea if this was accurate… but I assure you, looking down from it, it was HIGH. We raft there annually so I’ve passed that same spot many times with many people, and they all agree 70 feet looks “about” right. Anyway, I jump and make the mistake of immediately pencilling, rather than flailing and trying to slow my fall and then straightening at the last second. I hit the water basically vertical with butt clenched and feet locked and straight, but leaning very slightly left. The impact I felt shocked me in a way I’ve never felt or could convey… I can’t explain the force. It ripped my bathing suit clean off my body, and the ENTIRE left side of my body, from lower leg to shoulder, was bruised to hell. I used to be a hockey goalie and would routinely leave with welts that looked like pictures of galaxies they were so multicolored. This put them all to shame. Luckily other than being banged up and the embarrassment of having to climb back in my raft butt naked, I had no real injuries, but the ride home was extremely uncomfortable to say the least.
Moral of the story, the water isn’t much better, if I had landed any less vertical idk what would have happened, I’m sure I would have shattered some bones. If you land flat I have no illusion you’d be dead. Don’t jump from high places to impress your friends, lol. The worst part was some chick was recording it with her phone, but she wasn’t in our group so I never got the footage. Only proof is my friends word and a shredded bathing suit.
I feel empathic for the animated character...
Especially when he hits the water 😖
@@DebunkedOfficial u said the thing about keeping your a**s close omgg how horrible!! 😭
The same is true for Cliff Jumping, but not quite so extreme.
Empathetic? Don't you mean sympathetic? Have you fallen out of a plane?
@@cloudybhoy8815 your profile pic matches your personality....🦅🤭
Alright I’m going to remember this next time I fall out of a plane with no parachute. Thank you for the advice🙏
Because the first time just wasn’t a good time
10:56 We owe many apologies to Assassins Creed
I feel like I plummeted from outer space with the amount of time this went on for.
"Do your best to roll to the side on impact"
LOL
Yeah, right...
Could try having one foot hit the ground before the other, and be in a slightly less than vertical position so that the shock-wave doesn't travel straight up your spine. Just crumple your legs (one after the other)... I only fell from about 5m like that, max speed roughly 35Km/h (from splat calculator. About 1/3 average terminal velocity). It hurt a lot! (A real good limp, thought I'd broken a leg), nice impact bruise up one shin, but no breaks, and no lasting damage. A real oh sh*t! and awkward fall moment.
threeMetreJim You fall going 124mph-200 your leg will be in your body
No worries, I will definitely be rolling as much as I can - rolling in pain, if I survived the fall.
Unless you're an experienced skydiver / wind tunnel expert, you cannot achieve these body positions in freefall. The G force / temperature / uncontrolled rotations will knock you out in seconds. Have a good flight.
G Force knock out and Temp are not something that matters to an "experienced skydiver"
@@Tomnician that's exactly what I said mate!
Yep, you'll end up on your back and spinning most of the time.
It's worth a try.
aha.. first time i was ever in a wind tunnel i was in the box position in about 5 seconds after losing control..
"Oh, and tense your butt cheeks closed..."
For just this reason, U.S. Navy training specifies that if you have to jump off a ship (especially a large one like an aircaft carrier, where you might be falling 60-70 feet) you cross your ankles tightly before you hit the water.
Many moons and a lifetime ago there was a sktdiver from the local business/school that jumped from 5,000 feet,his chute didn't open,and he happened to "land" in a peat moss bed,suffice to say that because he was an experienced,skydiver all he got was a semi-shattered tibia and some broken ribs.
Person: AHHH, IM FALLING!
Free falling instructor: Just do a parkour safety roll.
10:25 no worries buddy... if I was in that situation my ***hole would be so tensed I could probably cleave a metal pipe.
If it ever happens, make a video plz
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that thought of this 😂
I knew a SEAL from SEAL T-2 (Mr. D, Desitel) who survived neither of his shuts not opening but broke his back during the fall in the late 60s. I can not ask him what he landed on because he is now dead but not from the fall and he said he lost all of his strength after that but I do know of a SEAL from SEAL T-6 whose shuts did not open in the 80s, who fell from 20,000 feet and landed flat on his back in the water but was still able to swim to a boat and pull himself in. He then spent 2 weeks in the hospital thereafter returning to the team and resuming his work as usual.
The whole video was given tongue in cheek! LOL

accident logic.
the odds of being in a plane crash are extremely low, she's involved in one of those: (no opinion as to her bad luck)
she lands in an area with trees and snow: "OMFG she's so lucky"
I mean its better then if you land on concrete or water, you'd die instantly like that. snow softens the blow and the trees catch them like a spider in a web
@@gorillaenjoyer871 That's... Not her point. She was saying people tend to think getting a safe place to land like in heavy snow makes her lucky, but don't think much about the fact that her being in a plane crash was incredibly unlucky. The odds of being in a plane crash are way lower than the odds of landing in snow/trees.
@@TheGrumbliestPuppy Facts
Good to know. I thought rolling during the free-fall could be a good option, so long as you do not roll yourself into danger.
