This is amazing, there is also a wiki how on how to survive a fall like this. The best part of the article was after you land, even if you don't feel hurt make sure you seek prompt medical attention as you have suffered massive internal injuries.
 
The ultimate learn-by-doing experience might be a lesson from Japanese parachutist Yasuhiro Kubo, who holds the world record in the activity’s banzai category. The sky diver tosses his chute from the plane and then jumps out after it, waiting as long as possible to retrieve it, put it on and pull the ripcord.
