Wow, never heard that story before.

Me either
Very interesting

Not to high jack the thread, but this reminds me

In WWII there are two known instances of aircrew departing their planes at altitude. Without parachutes And they survived
One landed in a snow bank
The other crashed through a barn roof and into a pile of hay

There's always Felix Baumgartner jump from 128,000 feet:

But he was much better equipped and prepared than a pilot falling out of a disintegrating airplane.
