if a man fell out from an airplane without parachute what would happen? how can he survive yourself?

The following assumes the plane is in the air and high enough to kill you!\n\nAfter around 10 seconds (c1000ft) you will be falling at c120mph - although there are a handfull of cases of people surviving what are reported as 'free-fall' landings, they are usually under partial failures of a canopy or a main/reserve wrap.\n\nI watched a girl 'go in' under a main/reserve wrap - I would reckon she was doing c30mph when she hit ... way off the 120mph you would do with nothing.  Fortunately she survived.  Imagine a car hitting you at 120mph!\n\nI suspect that the tandem incident in an answer above is either an urban myth or involved a partial malfunction - even if the jumpers landed on their backs (required for instructor to be underneath) the deceleration trauma would be fatal at the nearly 200mph a tandem reaches (faster due to twice the weight and the same surface area - physicist please do not flame me I am right ... this is why tandems deploy a drogue chute long before the main).\n\nIt is pretty likely someone will suggest aiming for water - this DOES NOT work.  Hitting water is pretty much like hitting concrete due to waters inability to get out of the way at these sort of speeds.\n\nBottom line, unless you get rescued in mid-air by other jumpers jumping with you (has happened a few times!) or, as you suggest, jump without one, you have an almost nil chance of survival.\n\nThe best advice if you jump without one or have a double failure is to tie your shoelaces together - it wont help but it will take your mind off the problem!\n\nBlue skies, black death =8-)\n\n\nDrop me a note if you need any more information\n\n\nADDITIONAL - response to other answers (good debate folks)\n\nWith regard to an answer above I have also heard or hitting trees etc as helping but only where the speed was already low due to a partial malfunction - documented case of a guy surviving by falling through the roof of a convent and another into very deep snow.  Ditto on the 'relaxed' posture.\n\nOpening you chute 'a couple' of seconds before impact is probably an exaggeration as it needs (say) 4 to deploy fully (reserve maybe 3) - as soon as deployment starts you will decellerate massively but you need it open for it to be borderline 'safe'.  BTW if you pull low on a drop zone and survive you are unlikelly to be jumping there again!\n\nWith regard to the chair idea ... em not unless you are a cartoon character :-)

I recall the story of the man who fell, got stuck and when all else failed, did cut his arm to free himself.\n\nThe one thing he admitted doing wrong were not telling anyone where he was going, which meant that no one knew where to look for him when he didn't show up for work.\n\nWould I cut a limb to save myself - I don't know.  I hope I never find out.\n\nI used to go off without telling anyone.  I'm often out camping alone for a week or more.\n\nMy new rule - tell at least two people when I'm going and at least the general area I plan to be in.\n\nI also use non-survival situations to practice skills, like using my non-dominant hand, in case my hand is injured.

without a suit . . . you do not explode, the movie industry once again fools the public . . .\n\ntrue, the nitrogen in your blood would boil out of your blood, the temperatures would freeze you, you would be blinded instantly by the rays of the sun, and of course, assuming youre still alive, you would suffocate . . . if you wanted to end someone's life quickly, just let them out of an airlock with no protection.

First, due to the extremely low pressure- 0 pascals - all of the liquids in your body have their boling/freezing points lowered to the same temperature; all of your exposed fluids will boil: tears on eyes, saliva, urine (depending on the person's ability to keep his or her cool). Then, the capillaries around and on your eyeballs and other mucous membranes would rupture, spraying boiling blood into space. After about 20 seconds the normal person would be unconcious, though NASA trains its astronauts to last a full minute. After about 3 minutes you would succumb to suffocation, and you body would drift to space, nearly perfectly preserved, until:\n-It finally reentered Earth's atmosphere (assuming you were in Earth's orbit), where it would vaporize; \n-It hit another space object, such as an asteroid; \n-It is pulled in by another planet. \nIt all really depends on your location.\n\nP.S. contrary to popular belief, you would NOT explode. Your body structure and skin tautness will prevent that; however, you will probably reach a very unsightly level of bloating.

They asked astronauts questions like this: "what if you had an oxygen leak and only had 10 minutes of air.  What would you do?"  The answer is "spend the next 10 minutes trying to find and fix the leak".\n\nSame thing for this question:  Try and survive any way you could.

Autorotation works just like a parachute.  Its standard part of helicopter pilot training.  My very first time up, the instructor took me up about 1000 feet above the airport and the said "Now lets disengage the engine."  We started a rapid but controlled decent and safely landed in a grassy area at the airport.  No damage to either us or the helicopter.

There are many possibilities with this question . I will try to list a few .\n1. it will hurt\n2. trauma to the larynx\n3. bleeding\n4. death/exanguinasion due to air way obstruction , and/or drowning on thier own blood \n5. temporarily unconcious due to trauma\n6. choking ,gasping , due to inability to take in proper amounts of air .\nThese are just a few possibilities .\nP.S. That is a strike for life or death situations only.

I think you will have to revise your plans.  The instructor at the training course will advise you regarding what you need but I think you would have to have plenty of experience before he would allow to to jump into a possibly crowded area.  Besides killing yourself, you would probably injure others..........

you can survive without food or water for at least a week. Going out there without anything but clothes is rediculous, but possible. If you wear glasses, take them. DO NOT bring contacts if possible. You can also use the glasses for making a fire if the sun is out. Fire and shelter are important as one of the first things to make. The fire will keep you warm and should also keep animals and bugs away. \n\nFood is nice, but unless you know what types of plants are around, then I'd say forget about it. Water is pretty easy. Just collect dew that forms on plants. It may not be much, but it will be LOTS better than just drinking any water you find without using purifying tablets first or boiling the water(again, fire is good here). Hopefully there are some other guys with you so some guys can build a fire while others look for plants to eat. Also bring a belt, it will help tie anything together, and if you can, bring a bandana or wear two pairs of socks. \n\nEmergencies can happen when people don't know what they are doing, so if one of your guys gets hurt then you can use the bandana/socks as a way to dress any wounds or sprains. Unfortunately, we don't know where you'll be "surviving" and what the rules and regulations are.\n\n ALthough you may want to ask yourself if it is worth it to hang with a bunch of guys who are going to 'force' you into wilderness surviving for 3 days with only clothes that you are wearing. Oh yeah, when going to the bathroom, go at least 100 feet from your campsite. DO NOT eat any white berries, and leave anything with three leaves alone (look up poision ivy). Hunger and thirst won't be your absolute biggest worries, since you should only be out there 3 days. Go with the shelter and the fire. \n\nIf they DO allow you to bring one item I would suggest a zippo or a pack of matches, if two, then bring a metal pan as well, if 3 then bring a pocket knife. DO NOT leave your fire unattended for more than 3 minutes, if you burn down the area you are in you will be in deep trouble. \n\nOn elast tip: when you go to create a fire, use small dry dead wood at first and then you can work up to larger pieces. the dry and smaller the wood, the easier it is to catch on fire. Don't get discouraged! it's only three days!\n\nResponse to Little Seal: I said you could survive without water for at least a week. I never said you'd be at 100% or that it was a good idea. However, drinking unpurified water would most likely be way worse in the long run considering the various microbes that live in water. If he collects dew in the morning it probably won't be that bad. Also, if he finds food, he will be getting water from that. Keep in mind that these guys are making thier pledge go out into the woods with nothing but clothes. Also, congrats of joining the NAVY! hope you accomplish your goal.

I don't know if its ILLEGAL to open the door of an airborne plane, but having a parachute is a damn good idea.. Oh and if its going down and everyone is gonna die, who gives a shit if its legal, whos gonna tell?!?!?!?!?!!

The diving speed would be constantly changing. You will need to set up an integral and calculate the volume of crap coming out of the men at each moment... Also were they eating a high fiber diet or more of a liquid type diet. We need more info for a truly correct answer.\n\n\nI have always wanted to know if you are skydiving naked and you crap your pants will the crap float next to you or will it tend to float upward and possibly land on your head once you pull you rip cord?\n\n\n\n\nfunny how toilet humor never gets old!!! keep it up!

that sounds dangerous.  someone could suffocate.

i'm assuming that you are ralking bout a hole being drilled right thru the earth and somebody falling into it...............you would accelerate and move towards the center and reach the opposite end of earth, at which point your velocity will reduce to zero and you will again move back to the cetre of earth and then onto the starting place.............in simple words you would execute Simple Harmonic Motion(SHM)

I am sure that every one has been to the amusement park and on a ride that drops suddenly.  If so you have experienced zero gravity. Zero gravity is noticed when something is in free fall. For example 2 parachutists. From the ground they are falling due to gravity.  But to each other they are in free fall. Jump out of a plane holding a weighted object (one not affected by wind) As long as you and the object are falling together you are free falling.  Let the weight go and it will stay right next to you. Any airplane that climbs and then you push the stick over, it will drop away from you and you will float unless buckeled in.  Yes that is how they train in the cargo bay of a plane.  No special equipment needed (except the padding helps). They climb and at any point the pilot pushes the stick forward, the plane goes into a dive, and everyone is weightless. Altitude is only determined by: how long you wnat to float and being able to safely recover from the dive.  In the movie Apollo 13, the "floating space sequences"were filmed in the back of a cargo plane that had the space capsule set in it. They were weightless in those scenes. Yes the swimming pool training is very similar to weightless conditions, because they are in "zero bouyancy".

Oxygen gets you high. In a catastrophic emergency, you're taking giant panicked breaths. Suddenly you become euphoric, docile. You accept your fate. It's all right here. Emergency water landing - 600 miles an hour. Blank faces, calm as Hindu cows.

If he/she can't return to the ship, they will likely suffocate as soon as their supplied oxygen runs out.\n\nIf they are naked (ie, no space suit) then it is much uglier. They are basically in a vacuum and the blood will burst out of every capilary. Imagine a hickie all over your body.
