Great read! I must admit, I have thought about this a few times in the past
when I was on an airplane and thought what would I do if the plane split in
two and thought about some of the things the author mentioned.

One more tip, always wear the largest rain coat you can find onto the plane
and keep some nylon rope in one of the pockets so you could fashion a
parachute on the way down :)

How easy is it to control your body's attitude during a free fall?

Belly-down is the easiest and most stable attitude, which is why that's the
first attitude taught in skydiving.

The other common attitudes are head-down vertical, feet-first vertical,
"sitting", and back-flying. The first three have a much faster fall-rate than
