To answer that constant question

Did anyone fall from an airplane and survive? Oddee's post today:

I was familiar with Nick Adelade's story. Several of the rest aren't really freefall accidents, just lucky survival from standard plane crashes. There was also a paraskier in the early 80's who survived a double total mal, going through trees on a snowy slope, similar to Nick's story. He had just a few minor fractures.

He had borrowed a rig, I believe a Handbury, and couldn't find the handles.
