It all depends at the height in which you fall, the surface in which you land, and the position in which your body lands. There has been a case in which a skydiver hit the ground when his parachute did not deploy and he survived. Though his body had massive trauma which he will live with.
Recently this summer, British stuntman Gary Connery completed the first intentional skydive from a helicopter using a wingsuit and landed in an enormous long pile of cardboard boxes. He did this successfully without sustaining any injuries.
