Here's a physics question:
If you were to get out of a jetliner and walk out onto the wing of it while in flight at 35,000 feet, what would happen?
Would the wind immediately blow you off the wing?
Or would you be able to "ride" the plane like the guy in the picture here (obviously photo-shopped - or is it?).

Oh, I think you would definitely be immediately blown away if not ripped apart. While the air is about one-third the density of air at sea level (assuming altitude of 35,000 feet), the velocity more than makes up for it. Considering the fact that if they attempted to lower the landing gear at that altitude and speed they would no longer have landing gear, I wouldn't want to subject my body to it.
Oh, and is that Prince out on that wing?

Most likely, you’d freeze to death long before you hit the ground.

600 mph, the air is -60* and the wings are really smooth.
You’re dead of exposure and oxygen deprivation LONG before you hit the ground.
