Vesna Vulović (Serbian: Весна Вуловић) (born 3 January 1950) holds the Guinness Book of Records world record for surviving the highest fall without a parachute: 10,160 meters (33,316 feet).
The fall occurred on January 26, 1972, over Srbská Kamenice in Czechoslovakia (now Czech Republic), after JAT Yugoslav Flight 364, on which Vulović was a flight attendant, exploded. The cause of the explosion has never been established, but was attributed by the Yugoslav and Czechoslovakian authorities to a bomb placed on the plane by a Croatian Terrorist group, known as the Ustaša. The explosion tore the DC-9-32 to pieces in mid-air, and she was the only Survivor. Vulović says that she was found in the middle section of the plane.

∙ 12y agoAltitude is not really the deciding factor, once the body reaches terminal velocity. It wouldn't matter if it was from 500 or 50,000'. When you hear of a skydiver surviving after "his parachute didn't open", it was most likely a case of having a malfunctioning parachute out that served to create enough drag to slow his descent to a survivable rate. Typical news folks are not nearly as interested in presenting factual information as sensationalism. They don't care if the story is not technically correct, they figure that their audience is as ignorant as they are.

The farthest a man has ever jumped is 8.95 m (29.4 ft).
A man may also jump downward. In this case the farthest jump downward is 102,800 feet (31,330 m).

Longest distance on surface of land without refueling?
The longest distance you can travel without refueling on land depends on the vehicle's fuel efficiency and tank size. For most cars, it's around 400-500 miles. Specialized vehicles like long-haul trucks may have ranges exceeding 1,000 miles on a single tank. Factors like driving conditions, speed, and load can also impact the distance traveled without refueling.
How do you fall without a parachute and not die?
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.
Has any one fell from a plane without a parachute and survived?
Yes, there have been rare cases of individuals surviving falls from planes without a parachute. These survivors typically landed on something that cushioned their fall, such as trees or snow, and also benefited from unique circumstances like relatively slow speeds or specific body positions.
Are there any parachute figures that are available without guns?

How does a parachute enable a person to jump without getting hurt?
A parachute slows down the descent of a person by creating drag and increasing air resistance. When a person jumps with a parachute, the parachute opens up and generates enough drag to slow down the fall, allowing the person to land safely without getting hurt.
