If there is any decent vertical feature, a good skydiver could try flying into it and sacrificing an arm. It probably wouldn't help but if we are talking optimal strategy here, that's probably near the top.
A friend of mine had his primary fail and he passed out. He woke up before the ground and fired his reserve. That broke his neck. He fell hard, there was no one in the area he fell in, but he was able to gather his chute and walk back to base with his chin on his chest without passing out. Though I think he crawled the last kilometer or so.
He started skydiving again, pretty much as soon as they took off the neck brace that had been screwed into his skull.
