If you went skydiving, and neither one of your parachutes worked...

[SoonerMatt]

Well considering they give you a knife when you go skydiving, I'd use that to cut my chute open.

 

[chiggerwood]

I'd aim for a car

Pretty much this

 

[Delicious]

I'd call the manufacturer of said failed parachutes and file a complaint.

 

[sauerkraus]

If there was someone else jumping I would get to them and hang on.

But this is about what to do before dying.... I really like the falcon punch idea, but I would probably do a ground pound instead.

If I could make out shapes on the ground, I would soooooo try to take someone out. I mean seriously, "death by meat-bomb"

 

[meatloaf231]

What would I do if I was falling from 10,000 feet with no functional parachute?

Target a pedestrian-thick area, and right before I hit the ground, kick a random person in the face.

They'd never see it coming.

If there is water below me then I'd check to see if I had anything to throw at it just before I hit to break the surface tension. If not then look for a slope to try and roll down on impact. Mostly likely I'll just be trying to load a previous save.

 

[Gitsnik]

Laptop/iPhone/PDA/whatever out, straight onto IRC to tell the team "Guys, I'm freefalling without a parachute, watch the .au news for this location to see if I survive it. I HATE YOU ALL!" just before I ping out.

 

[Ultra_Caboose]

The falcon punch idea is a great one!

When all doubt is lost, I figure I'd quote Bender.
"SOMEONE FAT GET IN MY WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY!!!"

 

[traceur_]

sing viva la vida or mad world

try to take someone out, fall into a city and shout "HUUUUUG!!!!" and grab someone.

alternatively: CANNONBALL!!!

pretty obvious when you think about it

Kind of like forgetting to hit the ground

Theres just one problem my friend... you automatically quick saved as you were jumping out of the plane

More like just throwing yourself at the ground, and missing...
Points for reference...

 

[Segadroid]

I'll flap my arms in the hope that I was part of an endangered flying species all this time.
And if that doesn't work, I'll do a barrel roll and drill myself into a whore-house XD

 

[Plauged1]

I do suppose I would die.

Beforehand, I would realize I was about to die, frown, and contemplate how little it was going to hurt from this height.

Before-beforehand, I would think of every possible way to save myself.

Remember, go for the chimneys.=P

Doing that on christmas day with kids in the house would make it all worth the effort.

 

[Overlord Moo]

Try and fall onto someone, and shout falcon punch before I hit the ground.

Genius!

Probably sing.

(sung to the tune of Camp Town Races) Ohhhh...I'm going home in a bodybag, bodybag, bodybag, I'm going home in a bodybag Oh the Do-da-dayyy!

 

[Cptn_Squishy]

It reminds me of a tabletop card game by Cheapass Games called 'Falling' where the premise is that you were in a plane that broke up. now you and all the other passengers have decided to see which one of you hits the ground last. the reason you and all the other passengers come to this decision is because...well...what else is there to do?

That actually happened to a friend of mine playing Halo 2.. the game autosaved just as he was falling off a bridge and he continued to faceplant over and over and over for about 10 minutes amid tons of laughter (it was at a lan party and there was about 10 people there)

also, Mythbusters busted the "break the surface tension" myth - Buster was entirely de-limbed by the fall, even with a large hammer falling under him.

I still stand by my "masturbate furiously" plan
