I knew a Navy chief who fell 4 stories onto a stone courtyard, and his fall was broken by a large cactus plant. Broken pelvis among his many breaks, but he lived.

OK, but four stories is what, maybe 40-50 feet at most? We are talking 22,000 feet here. That's over four miles of falling. I just don't buy it.

I think that landing on a cactus, no matter from what height, is simply adding insult to injury.
