There was a British tail gunner on a bomber during WWII that did something similar. His airplane was on fire and he couldn't get to his parachute so he jumped. He hit a tree and a snow bank and was not injured at all. When the Germans asked him where his chute was he told them he didn't use one. After they figured out he actually didn't, he became quite a celebrity. They would take him around and kind of show him off to everybody as the luckiest guy in the world.
