              According to his calculations, he hit the earth at about 60km/h.
              60km/h? Surely that's a typo?

                  His life has a purpose. I hope he figures out what it is because he's here for a reason.

                      unreal. I agree with Jarmusch though, I thought you tend to fall closer to 90km/h?

                            The terminal velocity of a falling human being with arms and legs outstretched is about 120 miles per hour (192 km per hour)

                            but he had a parachute partially opened, not sure if it would have slowed him down to 60 though

                                          a brief paragraph I 've found while surfing about skydiving.

                                          "skydiving is actually one of the safest so-called "extreme" sports. Let's be honest: It's not bowling. You are, after all, jumping out of an airplane and hurtling 12,000 feet towards the ground at 120 miles per hour, so there is risk involved. But it's not Russian roulette either. Each year, about 35 people die skydiving, and that's out of about 2 million parachute jumps. Given the odds, you're better off skydiving than you are, say, shark-cage diving. Every year, about 46,000 people die in traffic accidents, about 140 people die while scuba diving, about 850 die while bicycling, and about 80 are killed by lightning." taken from soyouwanna.com

                                          great facts I guess.

                                          huh and what a lucky bastard he is. god let him live, I hope he understands the mission from now on.

                                              Na.. the doors fall off naturally - it was an AeroFlot aircraft.

                                              BTW.. And serious... don't bother to use safety belts - the seats get detached from the floor in mid-flight

                                                This is not the first time someone has survived a jump when a parachute has malfunctioned partially or totally.

                                                Still it's amazing!
