Country:  | Great stories. I have actually met a US Special Forces soldier who fell out of a Blackhawk helicopter and fell 380ft to the ground and survived with just a broken leg. He fully recovered and rejoined his team. It is truely amazing how things happen sometimes.

Country: | Yep. Did anyone hear about the Australian parachutist? This was a few years back and not wartime, but she was parachuting from about 15,000ft and her chute failed to open. She landed on some telegraph wires and then fell on a road, sustaining only mild pelvis injuries and a broken arm.
