How can you survive a skydiving accident?

aim for a factory manufacturing pillows or marshmallows :)

there wouldn't be much hope otherwise. unless:

- you were in a particularly steep, hilly area, in which case you could use a hillside to slow yourself down. you'd need to go into a roll and just let your momentum get absorbed by the hill as you rolled. you'd get pretty cut up on rocks and bushes, though

- you were above a particularly rough patch of ocean (for some reason). you could aim for the slope of a wave, and you might lose enough energy on the slanted surface to not die. but you'd end up fairly battered (and likely concussed) in the middle of the ocean. which would probably cause you to die anyway

so, i'd say there's very little chance of surviving a skydiving accident unless you have a mobile phone and a friend who can transport *lots* of pillows *very* quickly
