You decide to try skydiving for your birthday, but you get a little too excited and the last thing you see as you leave the plane is your instructor holding your forgotten parachute. Oops! Don’t worry, you’ve been to the Free Fall Research Page, an odd little website that’s devoted to people (or other things) that survive long falls without parachutes. There’s stories about falls from planes and buildings, but also answers to questions like should you aim for water, could you survive a parachute drop from outer space, and would a caterpillar survive a one-story fall. Read it before you need it!
