wrote In this case, it appears that the a/c was already down in the pattern and the jumper blew through the pattern altitude and struck the a/c from overhead still in freefall. Non-survivable injuries unless the EMT's just happened to be right there when he landed. What, broken legs, un-survivable? Were they massively bleeding, from compound breaks or something? -- Jim in NC
