Remarkable, if not miraculous!!!

People just don’t survive falls from a height like that! Hell; even half that!!! It’s my understanding that anything over two stories, and you’re breaking bones and or dead!

I fell over a hundred feet once. Pissed off everyone on the bus.

Right. ...However, a North Texas teenage girl and her dad did a skydive last year (her first) and her chute didn’t open properly. She was in free fall for about 3500 feet. Broke lots of bones and required surgeries, but is doing fine now. ...Really a miracle that she survived. I would have hated being her father above her just watching her going down and unable to do anything to help.
