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

[cHaoSphEre]

Flap my arms real fast and see if it worked.

 

[Ushario]

Try to get another person that jumped to save me. Failing that, I'd go as fast as I can. None of that screaming bull.

 

[Stickman Sam]

First, panic. Then realise that in the grand scheme of things, your death isn't going to make a lot of difference. Then, I'd calm down and think really really fast, about something strange and unusual, and allow myself to get really tangential in my thought processes. So tangential in fact that I'd forget all about hitting the ground.H2G2 FTW.

Also, did someone mention falcon punch?

 

[SimuLord]

My first thought would be of Genesis 3:17 as I realized that every time I let my wife talk me into something I regret it (and really, the only way I'm ever jumping out of a plane is if someone puts me up to it.)

I would then offer a prayer to the gods that the afterlife be kind to me and hope that whichever god(s) is/are the real one(s) doesn't take my religious ambivalence too angrily.

 

[Gitsnik]

learn to fly....
pretty obvious when you think about it

Kind of like forgetting to hit the ground

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

I don't need the points - it depends on which version of the book you read, as well as whether or not it is mentioned in the radio specials etc. AFAIK the "firmly crooked" trilogy of four parts that I have refers to it both ways.

 

[S.H.A.R.P.]

Aim for the nearest body of water?

Good luck - the surface tension will ensure that the impact is much like hitting concrete. Ouch.

As for me, I'd attempt to create as much drag as possible through clothing, et cetera, aiming for a forested area. Of course, I'm going to end up mangled either way, but mangled and alive beats mangled and not even fit for an open-casket burial.

That was more or less what I was going to say. Yet I would also text to loved ones (damn it I am a slow texter, just one then...), just to be sure. Fortunately it wouldn't be my first free fall experience, so I know a little bit about my aerodynamics. I've heard a story where a guy fell on a tree once, he survived with surprisingly few injuries, so that's a good place to aim indeed.

 

[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.

This is sheer brilliance.
Are you sure I haven't recruited and brainwashed you?

I don't know. I can't remember anything after you said "lets go skydiving!", me saying no, bad idea, then you shooting me with 50+ tranq. darts. On that note, what are we doing in the sky?=|...=O

 

[Deriox]

Call Chekov for a beam up.

 

[MagnetoHydroDynamics]

I'd survive.

By pure willpower.

I am really that awesome.

I do believe we are preparing to die horribly.

Oh...I'll just sit in mid-air, with my legs crossed, twiddling my thumbs then.

Maybe I have enough time to finish that Resident Evil novel by S.D. *Splatter*.

 

[typhado]

scream leroy jenkins at the top of my longs as I go into the afterlife.

Make my peace with God in hopes a deathbed confession gets me to heaven... if there is a heaven.

try and miss the ground =p

Use my towel as a parachute.

EDIT: aim for the local swimming pool.... come on the splash would be epic.

 

[Medgeth]

Scuffle with the crocodile, tie him up and ride it down to the guy with the working parachute, that works, Ace Rimmer did it so its credible. Dont try and tell me it was just a TV show, its the moment the tides turned, and how the war was won.

 

[SnowCold]

This is why I would never go skydiving.

EVER

*high five*

If there's a deep river with lots of bubbles (or something else to soften it,) you might actually have a chance at surviving. The same goes for extremely deep powdery snow on a slope...
You'll have as much of a chance to survive as if you tangle in some trees, if not more...

 

[Segadroid]

Did I mention I'm afraid of heights?

 

[timmytom1]

Remember i was never actually wearing a parachute and launch myself towards the nearest granny ,just before hitting i would shout FALCONNNNNNNNN.................PAWNCHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
