What happens when you fall miles out of the sky without a parachute? In this episode of How to Survive, we break down the incredible real-life stories of people who survived impossible falls from airplanes, including flight attendant Vesna Vulović, who survived a 33,000-foot free fall in 1972, skydiver Victoria Cilliers, and WWII gunner Alan Magee. We look at the physics, human physiology, terminal velocity, and survival techniques (like the 5-point landing roll) that can mean the difference between life and death. --------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER & SAFETY NOTICE: This video is for educational, historical, and informational purposes only.
