Skydivers without a working parachute A few people have survived a fall of thousands of feet without a working parachute. This research page is dedicated to recording their stories and its purpose is to gather and confirm the accuracy of these stories. To the best of website creator's knowledge, the stories described on the free-fall research page are true. They have gathered newspaper articles and personal accounts where available.
