Corrected entry: If a human fell from 30,000 feet and lands on the ground without being slowed down by a parachute or something, the body would splatter apart like a water balloon.

Correction: People HAVE fallen from extremely high altitudes and lived. Vesna Vulovic, a stewardess, fell from 33000 feet, in the tail section of a plane, but not strapped into a seat. A WWII pilot survived a 22000 foot fall when his plane was shot down, and he lost consciousness before pulling his ripcord. There are other examples.
