Unlikely. The only reason he was able to survive IMO is that his pilot chute deployed, slowing him down.

- tim333 9y agoSurvival without a chute seems to involve hitting some large object that slows you like a tree or a bendy roof. Here's a pic of the roof that saved one guy http://cdn2.fella.com/2016/06/20151717/Magee-11.jpg http://cdn2.fella.com/2016/06/20151717/Magee-11.jpg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Magee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Magee)
- turk184 9y agoActually, on 2nd read, his chute didn't fully open but was slowing him down some. Then at the very last moment it unfurled? The writing is not clear, but it makes it sound like his parachute slowed some of the fall at least.
