So if you fall, you probably will die of fright before you hit the ground. A heart attack could be included but there are other factors they have discovered from the bodies of airplane crash victims.

I dont think there is any scientific reason for that. It is just a myth. Lot of people spread this hype. It is BS.

I had heard that as well, and noticed that it was mentioned in wikipedia articles for both of them. I'm really not sure if it's correct or not, as far as I know it's all rumor and speculation.
