1. Nordburg: Absolutely!+Tex Mex
2. Matthew Hynes: nazis gave out stars too lol
3. Da Secret Ingredient: Easy, just take a parachute pack as your hand luggage.
4. Walley Wallington: all you gotta do is come down on an angle and start running before you hit the ground. nothin to it!
5. Greg Covarr: I've always questioned the "water is like concrete to fall on because of it's incompressibility" theory. It's not about the incompressibility. It's about viscosity, ie how easily the molecules of water spread apart when a body attempts to seperate them. Mythbusters solidly demonstrated this
6. Ash Smith: She went back to being a flight attendant?!
7. TheWrathsblade: How to land: Tuck and Roll
8. Patrick Carroll: You look tired 😁
9. Lex Dunham: PLF Parachute, Landing, Fall! Look it up!
10. fakshen1973: Most people survive car accidents too. But the term "accident" is pretty broad. It covers a lot of levels of airplane damage and/or injury.
11. Amit kumar: Hey Joe, I can transcribe for you and do closed captions for you. Let me know what you think.
12. Davespenathome: Don't worry about the crash. Its the 35 minuets with the pilots fighting with the controls just before the crash that I find disconcerting
13. June's Outside Contact: I just found your channel 2 weeks ago and I'm amazed at all the different topics you cover. It's hard for me to get my husband to watch videos like this but even he enjoys your channel.
14. Tch2197: Just a reminder, Czechoslovakia was a different state than the Czech republic, which you marked on the map
15. Kai: I never undersood why they don't have at least some kind of emergency parachutes for passengers or even just the different rows each have a big one. I know it's costly and all that but I'd feel so fucking secure knowing that in an emergency the plane will loose the top and shoot out the passengers in their seats with the parachutes. If you land in an ocean it's still pretty fucked but anywhere on land you're probably good.
16. Fuzzy Lumpkin: I got one of his survival knife that man is a beast
17. Underground Raiload TV show in Chicago: wow
18. Edwin Custo: Does continuous farting be considered as jet propulsion?
19. Lowell Neese: Savage video
20. Kenneth Regan: Joe, as always, your videos are great. Quick questions though; regarding research, I am lazier than...(?). Were your examples of survivors really those without parachutes, etc? i.e Falling 22,000-plus feet with only layers of glass to slow him/her down, sustaining only minor injuries? That is incredible.
21. f oe: TL;DW You can't, unless you have a parachute.
22. Know It 2 Flip It: Great vid Joe! 👍
23. sup2069: You alive?
24. Root Beer: if i fall out of an airplane without the appropriate equipment i dont want to survive.
25. Destry Griffith: (Right around minute five) the maggots might’ve saved her life!
26. Conway79: Somebod's going to take 3:48 out of context one day and use it against you.
27. Ariel Beck: The giant turd lol
28. Alex Mallinson: I'm not picking a good place to land. I want to be dead instantly not waiting to die unable to move.
29. Paige Connelly: For reference to Americans: the SAS is the British equivalent of Navy Seals. In fact, sometimes SAS often trains Navy Seals.
30. Cordle Fhrichter: That Werner Herzog impression was... not good xD
31. mi lu: I bet all base jumpers wear chute on airplanes.
32. Hr Maverick: 1:56 bruh that's funny, I was watching at 1.5x. Xdxd
33. Nuno Viotti: It may seem silly but what about wearing a parachute? Can the crew stop you from it?
34. Pushin Keys: If falling into water, before tightening your butt cheeks, make sure to cross your legs and point your feet, that water enema can split you half... ouch 🤦🏽‍♂️
35. Paul van Deventer: Do you really believe Bear stories?
36. Wemdiculous: More flight attendants, more flight attendant survivors...if you actually want to survive a plane crash wear a flying squirrel costume to the flight and bail out. Aim for a steep hill to roll down or a tree with branches to break and slow you down, evergreens being the best because you can hit many small branches that break at a smaller amount of force than it would take to break your bones and or skull... find any way to slow down over a longer amount of time. If you stop traveling downwards over 0 seconds you die if it takes you 10 seconds to stop you probably live. DON’T IMPALE YOURSELF.
37. Jeremy Kaschmitter: From the NAZI'S
38. Leameth Michele Rudrove: Nice one you jerk...I have to fly tomorrow 😑
39. ​: sup2069 I made it. Landed in a hay bail😄😄
40. Red Compton: I love your video bro
41. Stephanie: Such a great video.... now I am having second thoughts about flying home for the holidays. Merry Christmas Joe thanks lol
42. James Pian: My next carry-on is going to be a parachute.
43. not2tees: Nice thumbnail on this one, a face from which fear has removed all sanity. I've never understood why they don't just give everybody a parachute, or some helium balloons, and an ejection seat out the side or somewhere you won't get chopped by the tail or wings or motors. Some airline should offer this, get an edge!
44. Ian M: I experience anxiety around flying, but not about possible plane crashes.  I get anxious about missing my connecting flight and getting stuck in an airport far from home and far from my destination. I came within a minute of missing my connecting flight in Bangkok a couple of years ago
45. jessumano al: i don't think i have seen that shirt before, what's its story?
46. Aerozoic: THUMBS DOWN! Your video starts with a flat out lie. The vast majority of plane crashes are SURVIVABLE! Look it up
47. Kaliel Souza: or... use a parachute
48. Cosmonaut Billy: ILL LET U KNOW HOW IT WORKS OUT, if I'm ever in a plane crash.
49. Park Justin: i get anxious because im cramped in a confined space with whole bunch of people that i dont know at all.
50. SKIP HENSLEY: Are you that guy from It's always sunny in Philadelphia?
51. Ugandan Knuckles: 9:40 what if you're a woman? OOF
52. Vikram Pawar: I am new to this channel and i am amazed with the high quality content on each topic. Keep it up bro
53. SS Polo: My great grandpa was a ball turrent gunner for the Nazis tho he said it was scary but fun at the same time.
54. Wimpiethe3: Just Macgyver it. Improvise a knife from debree, cut up a part of a chair and fashion yourself a parashute using pieces of human bone that no doubt conviniently are flying around all over the place. Then leave the plane and glide home as if it's a real umbrella. There you have it.
55. Nigel Weir: If you take a flight each day for 29000 years you will have one chance of a crash and an 80% chance of survival
56. Zack Sinel: @10:13 do a barrel roll ?
57. Ron Schlorff: yes, very very bad!!
58. IncognitoTorpedo: Oh Jesus.
59. Baydrix New Zealand War Robot Fanatics: This episode has me giggling like a kid
60. rubikfan1: 7:15. Great. I am 25 year, long and heavy.... Yea who needs flying anyway
61. Trey Frugè: Joe, you had me at "certificates"
62. John Sumner: I came down to the comments to see the SJWs lose their shit when you said "Nazi's weren't all bad....". None so far but the video hasn't been up very long but I have hope they actually learned to take a freaking joke.
63. jamie Russell: Hahahaha horrible
64. Ron Schlorff: missed that episode!
65. Haluk: Watching this while waiting for a flight. Great
66. -: Yet another reason we need a holodeck; to try different techniques without risking death.
67. Droning about Northwest: Anyone else just staring at Joe's extra fluffy hair in the front? I bet you are now hahaha.
68. Kenneth Melsen: So say my daughter jumps out of a plane, and I go after her; I should protect her head right? Would it work if I pulled her under my sweater her head on my belly and then her legs sticking out from the sweater neck and maybe folded lying across my face, if I make sure I land flat on my back? She's about 90cm tall.
69. azdgariarada: "See, the nazi's weren't all bad" -- Joe Scott 2018
70. Ron Schlorff: +221 b I always sit in the back cuz it's close to the bathroom. Cuz I pee a lot, I won't have any left to drink after I survive the crash/fall, ahhh yeah :D
71. David Ozab: Since you're already peeing yourself in freefall, it's inevitable.
72. Becky York: If you're falling out of a plane at 33,000feet, you may as well try to fly. You've got nothing to lose.
73. Vladimir K: Nazis did something right!
74. Inigo Freed: you don't pass out when a plane depressurizes because of oxygen deprivation. Anybody can hold there breath for 20 seconds. You pass out because we barely don't pass out all the time because our vascular system carefully balances the pressure of our blood in our brain. if your heart rate doesn't go up and your vascular system doesn't respond properly, you can pass out just by standing up.
75. fiona fiona: Nazis were big into certification of anything possible
76. Kárpát Zoltán: Duck and cover!
77. Chris Edwards: If this is not your highest rated video ever, there is no justice in the world. Too many awesome moments to mention. Flame, wine, etc.... ok, I’ll stop, but this was awesome.
78. MortimerLP: hi Joe, thanks for vid. just 1 thing - You didn´t show map of Czechoslovakia but map of Czech Republic. Czechoslovakia was a bit larger. About twice. But thanks :)
79. Gene Reid: If I find my self outside of the airplane then I'm just gonna embrace eternity and dive head first.
80. Jon N: Loved the little sketch with the glass of wine lol
81. Rydyf Crhfty: You missed a 0 at 8:09
82. Fly Beep: As a skydiver myself the Bear Grills one is misleading "parachute failed to inflate" could mean anything, for him to have live means he probably had a significant amount of fabric above his head, half inflated which produced enough drag to survive the fall. It doesn't mean at all he came in with no working parachute. If that were the case, dude would have broken every bone and be dead on impact and made a dent in the ground. Parachutes inflate, they have "cells", compartments which are pressurized buy the difference in high and low pressure between the top and bottom of the canopy. The high-low pressure is generated by the fact that's it's flying forward (it's trimmed to do that), essentially it's a wing and the technical term is "ram-air parachute". So Bear Grylls had some of those cells like inflated (most common parachutes have 9 cells, some have 7 (like BASE chutes) and high performance chutes have 21 or 27).
83. Don Fields: Maggots likely kept wounds cleaner also
84. CageReview: if i don't survive im blaming you
85. David E: This gave me anxiety
86. Dammy: 😆😆😆😆😆
87. totalermist: Still better than a bullet to the head, considering he landed in enemy territory...
88. Jason Sage: Makes me wonder if one of those sky suits is a good idea for air travel... Plane Going down? Fasten your belts, Cuz I'm Leaving! (opens door) sucked out! Now pass out... (zzzzz) Wake up... look Around.. Ok - Water... Go! Then do the Braking maneuver and skim on the water and slow and then swim - Sawa stunt guy do it without a chute - Looks better than free fall all day long. Looked no worse than falling down water skiiing and forgetting to let go of the rope for a second or two... That's survivable.. shoot.. he jumped in a boat and was walking after. :) Very Cool :)
89. Orlando Saint-Sebastien: I survived a fall from an aeroplane! It was an aeroplane ride outside my supermarket. I'm 55 years old and this was only last week.
90. Delon Duvenage: 8.28 that is probably the most accurate comment on the whole video , now my stomach hurts
91. Johnny S: How fast will you be on impact? 10.000 meters, 80kg, spreaded like a skydiver. Therminal velocity?
92. H Reid: Joe, your videos get better every week. Thank you for the content. I truly mean it.
93. My Direct Opinion: Are you going to demonstrate your survival techniques
94. Rod Snyder: Nice Vid! Btw. It is hilarious when you try to speak german. I wouldn't mind if you did this more often. XD Have a nice day.
95. Rebecca Williams: Well that was terrifying... 😉
96. Blue: OMG I laugh a lot on your videos.
97. Vladyslav Zvolsky: Am I the only one who has palpitations after watching this video
98. Seraphina S: Actual mid air breakups are exceptionally rare, not unheard of sure but in most accidents the plane reaches the ground mostly intact and at least somewhat under control thus why the survival rates for plane crashes are actually more like 95.7%. In fact significantly more common than mid air collisions when it comes to devastating accidents is a CFIT ie when a navigational error or similar results in a perfectly controllable aircraft being flown straight into a mountain or something. If anything colliding with a mountain at several hundred miles per hour with several hundred tons of Jet A1 still attached to the aircraft is even worse than if the fuselage and flight surfaces had parted company before impact as tends to be the case in mid air breakups. Of course neither of these scenarios are exactly good fortunately these are not exactly representative of most actual plane crashes in reality the vast majority of plane crashes the only fatality is the aircraft though you still have around a 76% chance of surviving if you are involved in a fatal plane crash especially in large aircraft. Fact is with the large aircraft short of flying them directly into the ground at a steep angle most of the people on board will at least survive the initial impact, the problem at that point is getting out before what is left of the plane is consumed by the raging inferno where the wings used to be. Generally it's the fire and it's even worse companion smoke that kills the vast majority of those that do die in the most devastating crashes not the crash itself.
99. NEY Industries: Just take a parachute with you, tell everybody it's you luggage not to spread panic... And so nobody would take it away in case the plane will start splitting in half mid-flight. Also, remember that you'll lose consciousness after explosive decompression at 10 km height, be prepared to awake in free-fall several km from ground – then calmly open the chute. Keep in mind that 300+ people are going to die this exact instance, and you'll be the one to have the last laugh... Quite literally. AHAHAHA!!! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ
100. Emiliano Mendoza: POOKALPA
101. Nicholas Czech: For those that ever get stranded in a jungle and have open wounds, maggots in your open wounds is a good thing they help fight infection by eating dead tissue, also fallow streams as said in video.
102. Ron Schlorff: sums up most of Joe's stuff :D
103. Ron Schlorff: with my luck I'd be in the 4.3 percent or more likely the 0 percent :(
104. Yannick Warnier: 4:10 poo-cal-pah :-)
105. Karlsson: wait but if of the 42 that survived, 11 were outside the plane, that could mean that it is more likely to survive outside, since probably less than 1/4th of the people are outside the plane in freefalls of over 30k feet right?
106. Gonun: 0:12 - There actually is a lot of surviving going on. Only about 15% of all aircraft accidents result in the loss of life. So the chances of surviving an airplane accident are pretty good.
107. Noothless: Now i feel comfortable jumping out of an airplane
108. Indika Herath: you need a nimbus 2018
109. gutspraygore: Don't worry, Joe. You can never step on a plane your whole life and still die in a horrible plane crash.
110. Joe Mckirdy: Joe, if someone is in a plane crash, would you rather want their last minutes to be calm? Why do you have to tell the truth. It's not like they can sue you if you lied, cause they would be dead.
111. Fox Mulder: When I fall out of a plane, I'm going headfirst straight to hell. Don't want to survive just to be messed up and severely handicapped
112. Stu Pidas: Don't listen to this nonsense. Here is the real truth. Stay in the plane, strapped in preferably. About 15 seconds prior to impact undue your restraints, move toward/near an exit point. About 5 seconds prior to impact squat down. Moments before impact jump up and slightly outward. Yours truly, Bugs
113. Stephen Bosworth: So far, best video you've done. Some of those joke were that crude they were hilarious. Please ignore the brown lump forming chap, you've got choices to make.
114. Marc Inzon: "Poo-Kal-Pah"
115. sanjuansteve: What might be the terminal velocity of a falling tail of a plane for example for comparison to free falling?
116. 95TurboSol: I like these historical stories!
117. Intaberna: The germans didn't just give him a certificate. They gave him medical treatment, which is why he survived the shrapnel injuries, broken bones, severe damage to his eye, kidney, lungs, and a nearly severed right arm (source: Wikipedia).
118. Guðmundur Ingi Guðmundsson: The illusion of safety.. hahaha! Tyler Durden said it all haha! I very like your shows. Im offing speaky. GL hf. Sincerely I do my best for safety. Always ascending (great song). My father was top tier captain for 20 years. Popular and respected, just not enough to listen to him and lose instead 50% of the area GDP.. currency can be a female dog and a male one too. It can bite. He's only proud of never losing a single soul for safety was nr1 priority. He had ro quit early and become a land crab... the worst. Haha! I hope you all do safe nr1 too. He's my nr 1 guy. GL hf. Ty.🖖🤓
119. Thomas: Thanks for yet another great video, Joe! (Equal parts education and entertainment as always). I was on a flight between Sacramento, CA and Portland, Oregon that experienced a major lightning strike about 10-15 mins after takeoff. We took off in the midst of a thunderstorm, which seemed a bit odd(?) The aircraft was still climbing at the time we took the hit. It was felt throughout the plane. I could feel the electrical charge in my scalp. The cabin lights went off and a stream of bright orange fireballs were flashing past the window where I was seated. The engines began screaming even louder than they had when we left the runway and it felt like we were rapidly losing altitude. I was traveling by myself so I was alone with my thoughts, which were surprisingly calm for the circumstances. I was thinking: "I've always heard that planes were designed to take lightning strikes - which supposedly are frequent, so whats up with this?" I also looked around at my fellow passengers and thought: "How weird. If I die today, I will be likely sharing that fate with a bunch of total strangers, which seems kind of sad." I guess I was so freaked out that my brain went into something like a "safe mode." After what seemed like an eternity, the plane regained power, stabilized and we ascended above the thunder clouds, entering blue sky and sunlight. About 15 mins later, the pilot(?) made an announcement. I'll never forget his words and how calm he sounded: "Ladies & gentlemen, uh, some of you might have noticed a while back, we experienced a.. er.. lightning strike. However, we do expect the remainder of the flight back to Portland International to be..er.. uneventful." That proved to be the case, but after landing and taxiing up to the gate, looking out the window, I saw several guys wearing coveralls running fast toward the section ahead, where it felt like the lightning had struck. It was around dusk by then and they were aiming large flashlights toward the underbelly. They were looking up at something that caused them to react with shock. Dramatic facial/body language. I badly wished I could have seen whatever it was they were looking at. The weird aftermath to this was seen a couple of days later at home, as I tried to watch the VHS / camcorder tape I'd recorded during that California trip. It was *totally* erased. There was no trace of the recordings that I'd previewed on the device before leaving. Nothing but "ant races" on that tape. (My camcorder had been stowed in its carrying case, beneath my seat on the plane.)
120. Mark Patureau: How to survive? Don't get on the damn thing!
121. Lee Hunter: Hey Scott did you see the Channel 4 doc 'The Plane Crash' An international team of scientists, experts and elite pilots deliberately crash land a 170-seat Boeing 727 passenger jet to study the mechanics of a plane crash in real time
122. Angel R: Ur soooo sexy!!!
123. Mythricia: ​+Susse Kind I am well aware of all this, but that doesn't change the fact that if you hit the ground at ~190 km/hour, you are not going to be able to perform any sort of maneuver. If you think you would be able to, you must be severely underestimating how fast that impact is. You're falling at 52 meters per second, which means that even if you use your *entire body* as a crumple zone, the impact is *over* in 35 milliseconds. You are dead. You can't possibly tuck, roll, bend, or in any way orient yourself in the 35 milliseconds you have between your feet touching the ground and your head touching the ground. At this speed, nothing in your body is going to flex or bend. It doesn't have enough time to do so. Sure, you can slow your descent by orienting yourself horizontally, but I don't think that's helping your survival chances.
124. Andy C: If in doubt about any aspect.... Drink your own piss.
125. EyeoftheCj: New Subscriber, Great videos Joe!
126. Richard Collier: Are you kidding me? I would rather put my life in the hands of total strangers than in the hands of my own family members.
127. Spencer R. Schecht: “That’s double, my friend”
128. alec guzelimian: I was going to mention Operation Chrome Dome as an example of just how safe flying is, but then I remembers the palomares incedent, the grand forks incident, the thule airbase incedent, and the Goldsboro crash. All including live thermonuclear weapons. Maybe it's not the best example
129. Cordle Fhrichter: Put your tray table up! And your seat back in the full upright position!
130. Lenard Segnitz: Instructions unclear, jumps from an airplane wearing a squirrel suit while holding a flight attendant and a baby.
131. PCLHH: Somehow the thumbnail picture looks like Bunny Meyer.
132. Christopher Hall: it's sad that this channel only has 300K subs, while Infographics Show spreads false facts and pseudoscience and has 3 mil
133. Arthur Williams: Do you think airport security would find it suspicious if somebody wore one of those wingsuits onto a plane? I mean, you could also just bring a parachute as your carry-on luggage...
134. Brian W: My flight instructor for my SEL ticket would always tell me to be careful driving home. Once after touch and goes all afternoon, aiming right for the runway center line, leaving the airport on quiet back road, I found myself, for an instant driving right down the painted center line. Yeah, be careful driving home.
135. Des Cannon: Agreed Tex. Joe is giving a fake news opinion not based on ALL the evidence in the round. Sad!
136. Mister Hand: As you are about to slam into terrain at terminal velocity, you have to rip a Jurrasic fart. If timed perfectly, the drastic change in pressure will cause an osmotic differential which will cream your taint and mitigate the coefficient of erection so as to allow it to be a survivable event.
137. JavierCR25: You could fall on the giant turd and it will cushion your fall
138. mierpub8lam: Strangle yourself to death before you hit the ground. BOOM! Problem solved
139. harry poxon: This video just made me more scared of flying
140. Squirrel ASMR: Omg joe you are soo funny 😂
141. kk70x7: How does one go from balls of their feet to calves?
142. K.A. GORDON: How about an intro to hit and roll...not sure how to do it. I did somewhat in a motorcycle accident where I had no injuries and no helmut. Im guessing the rain didnt hurt.
143. Blaise: Surprised you didn’t talk about the story that Alive book and movie is based on
144. TheOtherSteel: If you're going into water and can react, diving in with your arms straight up over your head and hands together is much better than feet first.
145. N O: Why,,, why does that thumbnail look like that???
146. Szobiz: lol. uou have the right equips or you die
147. Shauna Williams: Joe this video was terrifying! Way too many mental images. 😧
148. Vesper Lilly Ann Pratt: Im honestly more impressed the Nazi's were just like "Holy shit dude, you just fell 22,000 feet and only got minor injuries not only am I not with that, Here's your certificate for officially Terrifying US"
149. Dean Rice: This was a really fun one, Joe!
150. Lisa Likeme: New playlist "Things that are not possible"
151. Nordburg: If all things fell at the same rate, wearing a parachute would be futile. All things accelerate at the same rate if you ignoramus's air resistance. Which you can't.
152. timg2727: Per Wikipedia re: Alan Magee: "He had 28 shrapnel wounds in addition to his injuries from the fall: several broken bones, severe damage to his nose and eye, lung and kidney damage, and a nearly severed right arm." Minor injuries, eh?
153. José Sarmiento Hinojosa: "PUH_CALLPA" ;)
154. Sakis Hrist: Uhh, that was grim :D But you know what else is grim? Article 13. What's your take on it and will it affect you?
155. Andrew Sturm: Another amazing video helping to spread science and education!! Thank you for being the awesome person you are!! Many blessing!!
156. the mexis: "Trees are better than rocks" - Joe Scott, 2018.
157. Vaul the Creator: Falling from a plane is *easily* survivable. I fell out of the forward hold of a 737-800 once while loading, that's only 5ish feet from the ground. Had I falling out of the A320......well, that's a different matter entirely ;/
158. Maria Veenema: The worst enema of all time had me in giggling fits :')
159. tom smith: I spat out a bite of my pb&j after the "tighten up your butcheecks" line lmao
160. Ludwigvan: but if you are wearing a helmet, at least you can avoid head injury.
161. Falmer: The video actually starts at 2:30. Everything else before is just random talking.
162. * *: That thumbnail.... Where did you get the pic? I swear, that girl looks just like one of my best friends. WTF
163. Time Traveler From The Past: I would of never thought about clinching the butt hole tight. Lol 😂 thanks joe you saved my hole
164. Dennis Mason: @Joe Scott - Leeches do not "infest" a wound. They eat necrotized flesh and there are antibiotics in their saliva. Leeches "heal" wounds. Hence the critters being quite popular amongst European doctors centuries ago. Probably Amazonian natives, as well. Be well and thanks for the data. (Put Brian Eno in there if you have to cushion yourself in moody smart music.)
165. Ryan Keller: So basically this channel's gone from decent pop science to Ripley's Believe It Or Not.
166. Ron Schlorff: gonna be a lot of RED. Actually heard it described, after a sky diving "accident", the body was like a big bag of raspberry pudding!!
167. Jaimes Beam: But... You keep talking about people surviving plane crashes.   That is a completely different kettle of fish then falling from a plane at altitude! There are a few people who survived falling, but there are a lot more who have survived plane crashes~
168. Angl0sax0nknight: Maggots eat dead tissue but not health tissue . Keeps infection down.
169. Lordul Alibec: i dont know why i even watched this, i wanna die
170. Fuzzy Lumpkin: Thanks cu I got a flight soon
171. Neutron X: Well it is methane sooo...... big Farting Rocket ;)
172. Alfredo S.: Everything you said from 1:00 - 1:30 can be said about police officers too. All they receive is hate from main stream media.
173. Eric Parks: I hate flying. Really hate it. Love the video though!🙂
174. Don Fields: Those maggots in her wounds likely helped keep them cleaner, and a good source of protein. Eat that gryllis, or drink that should i say.
175. Danny: "There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. ... Clearly, it is this second part, the missing, that presents the difficulties."
176. Nordburg: +fakshen1973 Correct, and if the maker of the video had stated most car accidents were fatal, (as he did with aircraft 0:10) that would be relevant.
177. Ron Schlorff: I actually have a collection of his vids (Bear's), you want to talk about constant laughs :D In one scene he goes up to a dead zebra, teeth first, rips off some flesh and says: "arrgghhh, that was a nasty bit." Ya think!!
178. Jonathan Matthews: I jump out of planes for fun! I also pay a lot of money for that experience...
179. Cpt. Crash: Ok... so if I ever am going down in a plane I'm going to sit on the bright orange box in the rear of the plane lmao
180. Sys ko: Haha yeah right on, a good distraction otw down.
181. Dario Impini: LOL great delivery of a topic I've thought about a lot while staring out a plane window. Could I flying-squirrel myself to that lake. I was hoping that splashing at speed into a lake is better than belly-flopping straight down but maybe I'm wrong about that.
182. H Montes: Interesting topic.
183. Susse Kind: +kk70x7 when coming into contact with the ground, the body should be at an angle. After the balls of the feet touch the ground you would automatically go to the side and to the next point of contact, that being the calves, then thighs, etcetera. Type in plf in the YouTube search bar. There are plenty of videos demonstrating this.
184. Dustin Rodriguez: Wait, so you're worried someone might watch this video and then be about to be in a plane crash... and not panic? Is there an advantage to panicking that I've not been told about?
185. Harambe's Ghost: Okay, but if I get blown out of a plane and sucked into the engine, what should I do?
186. Nordburg: I eat a lot of fiber but it rare I have more than 1 movement a day.
187. Jeffrey Morrison: You forgot about Peggy Hill!
188. ​: Watching this while on a plane😬😬😬
189. Terry B: It would be my luck that if I followed a small stream, I'd follow it the wrong way and it would eventually turn into a few drops of water falling from tree limbs.
190. thinkabout: HOW walk
191. Peter Frencken: I'm still psychologically scarred from that time you had that huge sore on your face. Now I get slightly anxious every time you turn around at the start.
192. DunnickFayuro: Actually, 80-90% of people involved in a plane crash do survive.And search for biases in comparing airplanes vs cars safety. I don't remember where I saw this, but airplane safety is not calculated the same way as car safety and it distort the stats in favor of the planes.
193. Ron Schlorff: Bear Grylls ate some maggots once in one of his vids, got off a dead deer I think. He said bite heads off them first, cuz "that's the nasty tasting bit." OOOOOKKKK, another good bit of survival advice, 'case you need it, after drinking your piss, after surviving a crash or fall from a plane. Just taking notes!!
194. FTADaddio: There was a popsci article about this exact topic like 6 years ago it's conclusion was basically sacrifice your good looks and fall face first, basically belly flop with your arms protecting your head and make sure to shatter your knee caps first on impact
195. Still Deubell: GodDAMN am I glad I stumbled across this channel. Joe my friend, you sir are the shit. 👏
196. Ben Clifford: Of your videos that I've seen, this probably has the highest fun-to-useful ratio
197. Dragon: Thank you for my new phobia.
198. Randy Brewer: I just want to really really really really diaper in Chinese I just want to really really really with a dab Ranch I already got some designer to hold up my pants I just want some.ice Shmurda looking at kissing in the grass I just want to really really really really yeah yeah yeah I am only reason why I say yummy yummy I love you don't take time is glass keep staring alien movie clean Sheila b Express I spy.

199. Steve D: 26,00 FEET. Error alert
200. Tedd Zagan: DUDE, where DO you get these awesome shirts???
201. arboris: ..And as the plane crashed down he thought "Well isn't this nice.."
202. Kai Keeper: I prefer my way- Don't go on airplanes.
203. Cordle Fhrichter: They gotta drop some crash test dummies from airplanes to test the best position to hit the ground in.
204. Carlos Rincon: I'm from Peru. Pucallpa reads "Pooh·KALL·pah". You are welcome, Joe.
205. Simon Jenner: You make the ultimate enema sound like a bad thing . . . 😜
206. Gary Laws: you forgot to mention how Peggy Hill survived a fall after Hank pressured her into jumping out the plane.
207. DerOldHerr: ...Or just get a parachute...
208. Donato di Niccolò di Betto Bardi: So, the lifetime odds of dying in plane crash are what, 1 in 9821? This video has 15070 views and growing. So, watch intently, one or two of us might find it useful one day. Or not.
209. Matt M.: Any info as far as why Airlines do not supply parachutes in the seat like a fighter pilot, flying squirrel suits, or an inflating device to save people? Is it insurence? If you are dead you can not sew...
210. Janusha: Basically... Youre dead.
211. Bella Dollar: that was awesome! first i thought: aw man! clickbait! AND THE BOOM! Delivered. Killed it.
212. Sam Za: Joe must moonlight as a comedian. He's got good ones.
213. Kris Bendix: I will do a superhero landing! If I have to go, I will do it in style!
214. Alec Grolimond: Funny I am not scared of taking a plane yet I worry about a plane dropping on me. Stupid yes but that is life.
215. Eddie Donlin: Damn I love you channel...best on the net. My wife and I look forward to every release and rewatching all the classics! Rock on man.
216. Melissa BigMac: That's really funny because my co-workers and I were talking about how to survive falling out of a plane. We hit most of your points, plus hitting a bear would probably be the worst thing. If we both survive, that bear would be pissed.
217. SCiE Fie: I lost my shit so hard when you mentioned the giant turd forming in my pants... ;D
218. Austin Dent: SOMEONE... Somewhere... Even if it's 20 years from now.. will survive a plane crash... because of this video.
219. Nikola GROMOVIC: I first found out about Vesna from a tv commercial for pain relief gels about 7 years ago. Fascinating that she survived. She passed away in 2016. RiP...
220. Zurround100: She is dead now but a long time ago My mother told me that some parents take separate planes to avoid their children being orphans incase the plane goes down. I told her that doing that doubled the probability of the children losing at least one parent. She did not understand what I meant.
221. Fredrick Nietzsche: clickbait the title should have been can you survive?
222. Valken: 10:00 You want to land on your feet so there is no head trauma, which is the largest cause of death from falls. Here, I just saved you 10 minutes of your life. Like.
223. Ron Schlorff: GAME OVER!!!!!
224. Bradford Roberson: Most of the people who have survived a plane crash have been inside the plane... what was that number again, something like 2/44 survivors were not in the plane? What is the number of people who have died in the plane crash while inside the plane, versus outside? I bet a vast majority of people who have died in a plane crash did so inside the plane. The plane may generate more drag, causing you to fall slower in some situations but I'm sure in other situations it could cause you to fall faster. Also, when you collide with whatever stops you from moving (like the ground), if you are outside the plane that is hopefully the end of your trauma... BUT if you are inside the plane, you still have the rest of the plane coming down on you at full speed. Even if one person falls on you after your impact, that is two times the impact that you would have suffered outside the plane.
225. David Buschhorn: Ernest Hemingway survived two plane crashes... on the same day. I went to the University of Idaho with a girl who was in a plane crash (her boyfriend was flying). The crash tore her seat from the plane and she was found well down the hill from the plane, in a creek, still strapped into the seat and unable to move it out of the creek. She could just keep her face out of the water and was calling for help, but she said all she could do was whisper. In a small-world event, she transferred to Univ of Arizona and then had a class with my brother.
226. Jay Jay: Thanks Joe always enjoy the videos.
227. Carlos Malave: For those 2 minutes of falling from 30,000 ft. ; I'll wait for that moment of seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
228. Drakkenstein: Nice use of comedy tied in throughout the video to keep it light 👍🏼
229. Harley Me: before I watch this I just have to say... BRING A PARACHUTE.
230. Robert Smith: I live in the flight path at my local airport (55000 movements per year). Last crash here was in the 1980s at the Farnborough Air Show. I also regularly see planes from Heathrow. I know they are incredibly safe but just being that high in the air makes me nervous. I don't like being at the top of tall buildings either. No logic to my fear as I have taken many much higher risks in my life but since when has logic dictated your fears? Look at flightrader or similar app to see just how crowded the skies are.
231. Riley Denning: 9:45 you kill me man😂 Funny stuff
232. CronoZoneDJ: Ok, then you went flying out of the plane completely passed out, you woke up in the middle of the air with 2 minutes to spare to contemplate your horrible death and I have to think how to land ??? WTF Joe, you're the best, I laughed so hard that I almost peed.
233. Woody Chadwick: My friends father fell 20000ft in the spinning tail section of a B24 due to the areodynamic resistance he hit the ground fairly slow. The rest of the war was prison camp. Over.
234. Aaron: Went back to being a flight attendant???
235. INERT: Mime a swimming motion so if anyone is watching you, they'll think it's pretty funny.
236. Kamui | Master of Disguise: hey geniuses why can't we wear mini-parachutes instead?
237. J: If you have to land in water, just throw your giant turd first so it will break the water.
238. Tex Mex: According to the NTSB the survivability rate for airplane accidents is a high 95.7 percent. We tend to think of the really bad 100% fatal accidents as the norm, but of course that is not true.
239. Arno Betts: I will NOT drink my own piss...no way. Prayer is all there is...period.
240. Kevin G: The ballgunner who fell 4 miles and survived...and all he got was a certificate
241. altera619: Spaceflight will be viewed the same once it becomes just as common as air travel. Only mishaps will make the news, and people will form irrational fears out of it, due to the counter-intuitive nature of spaceflight's safety parameters compared to aero-flight, let alone surface travel, which will likely continue to be more deadly than flying through the air, or space.
242. Magnus Gudmundsson: This is where the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy comes in handy.
243. Mark Mabry: It's bold of you to assume that I was wearing pants when the plane EXploded ("pants" in which one would find a post-EXplosion, pre-landing turd)...
244. Baby Genius: Giant turd and piss drinking ?? Yeah, I'm never flying anymore....
245. Kristofer Paul: You're kind of fear mongering. Yes a plane CRASH is pretty deadly, but planes going down, and "crash landing", lost engines and such are mostly survivable. I think most people would consider a plane going down with an engine on fire as a "plane crash" but they would most likely go down to a fine landing with no deaths. Even with no engines a plane can usually land decently.
246. Bo Diddly: Ahhh...the old, Douglas Adams trick!
247. William Thomas: LOL...I had to pause...they gave him a certificate..bwhahahahahahaha!!! gad that's funny
248. Andrew Flowers: Surprisingly, pleasant, thoughtful, and intriguing, treatment! Subscribed!
249. ​: Watching this while my plane is crashing😮😮😮 wish me luck!😵😵😵💀
250. Carrie W: OMG, I will never take my seat belt off in a plane again, and I'm in the back, I'll fight for it.
251. MC's Creations: Joe, I challenge you to pronounce my city's name: Caraguatatuba. Cya.
252. Idylchatter: Make sure the plane is on the ground.
253. Jo Veteran: You can't. The End.. of your life.
254. Justin Fay: .002 percent chance.. So youre saying there's a chance..
255. 221 b: The back is also your safest bet in crash landings. Most crashes aren't Mach 1 nosedives from 40000 feet, usually it's a crash landing, overshot the runway etc... Just get out quick before the fire starts. That's what kills you.
256. Becky York: if the destruction of a plane relies on the decay of a uranium atom that's in a sealed box and no one opens it; did the plane crash?
257. tackytrooper: I wonder if there are any airlines that would actually allow you to wear a wingsuit onto your flight. I feel like doing so would give a lot of people peace of mind, even if they had never wingsuited before.
258. Jack Carey: Simple with a parachute
259. 6 E Q U J 5: Take off your pants tie the leg holes in knots and walla!! Mini parachute.
260. Frederik Volkers: Aim for the bushes?
261. Hyrum D.: what about austinmconnel's vid on this subject? its only 4 min long
262. SnowmansApartment: there was a plane crash survivor who then got killed by the fire fighters/ambulance car who ran over her...
263. starshipeleven: tl;dr be ridiculously amazingly lucky so that something random you happen to fall on softens your crash (or learn how to land on your back while carrying an undeployed parachute). Have balls of steel as a good measure in case you land in the middle of nowhere and also need to backtrack to civilization after the crash. Added to my to-do list, thx.
264. Martin Meredith: Thanks for the handy tips !
265. Arc Crenshaw: @8:09 says 26,00 feet instead of 26,000 feet
266. Star Power!!!: Just watched the scene of the hench man falling to his death off the mountain in James Bond: For Your Eyes Only - Awesome!... It's the sound effect they created of the guy making a loud woosh as he cut through the air while the camera is briefly on the people's faces watching seconds before impact. To then cutting to the moment just before impact, where we see him fall that last foot or two, where we are rewarded with an earthy thud - audably tells us about the composition of the ground beneath him.
267. Anchit Roy: Me to YouTube: How to make pasta *Youtube suggests How to survive a fall from a plane*
268. Robert Keir: Well done! Nice video Joe! NEXT VIDEO IDEA... Cheapscate people who have hidden in the landing gear section of an aeroplane, made a flight and lived to tell the tale. ✈️😉
269. fakshen1973: When you're pissing, shitting, falling, and screaming all for several seconds...
270. Aaron Herbst: don't lie, 100% of people have anxiety around flying
271. Krampus: The turd forming in your pants was the absolute funniest! Made my day. Love your vids
272. Biswa Borkakoty: Ok science will advance in next 5 yrs to make a suit that will cusion off your fall from the aeroplane just like Jackie Chan...till than stay away from those steel birds....
273. Mark Mabry: HA HA "TURD IN PANTS" HO HO HEE!
274. Lakewood Ed: Safest mode of travel? Walking.
275. JayBee: I haven't flown since 2010. Airports are ghastly concentration camps. Both sides of the cockpit can contain crazy people. I can see anything I want to see online. No more flying for me!
276. Tomasz Stanek: It is possible to carry you self a small parachute inside of plane. A paragliding pilots use some small emergence parachute, it will be a perfect one.
277. Doug Bradley: Mythbusters showed fallen on to concrete is worse than fallen in to a body of water.
278. rpapini1: fall out airplane, start fapping
279. Filmflicker Cinema: Who were the Sea People who ended the Bronze Age?
280. RDVMusic: this new channel of Tom Scott seems to go pretty well
281. Ninh Vu: Was going to jump out of plane without parachute tomorrow at company Christmas party to impressive girl in accounting. Thank God I stumble upon this video. Thank you Joe! You are the best.
282. Russell Dobbins: Your hilarious Joe
283. Dominic Strawberry: Her mother also survived but died in the jungle :)
284. GUILLERMO CISBANI: +Ron Schlorff actually I watch another show with plane açcidents!
285. Event Horizon: Any topic that leads you into doing an impression of Werner Herzog is something we love. "There is no harmony in the universe..."
286. Ian Macfarlane: Please don't say "defying gravity" Joe - that's when all of the lunatics appear. Also, if Bear Grylls said something happened......I'd check. I struggle to believe anything that comes out of his mouth...... other than piss..... I'm sure that a lot of piss comes out of his mouth.
287. Alexis2andsoOn: Always land on your butt.
288. James Humphrey: there was the guy that feel in a pile cow dung and walked away
289. emanuel Posse: typical 5 year old question : dad why dont they have parachutes in a jumboyet? :)
290. Nicolás Antonio: 04:11 yeah, t his is how it is pronounced in Spanish
291. Smiler Farmer: DO NOT DRINK YOUR OWN PISS!!!!!! worst survival tip EVER!! :P
292. Artificial Avocado: That's my go to move in any emergency situation.
293. The Steel Curtain: So in other words, you're pretty much f****d if you're ever free falling in this situation. Thanks for the comforting tips Joe. Lol! Oh by the way, I actually puckered when you gave the advice of going into water feet first to avoid an enema. Ouch! Great video man!
294. Stuart Little: A work colleague years ago fell 6000ft after both a main and reserve chute failed on his first solo parachute jump. He landed on an inflatable bouncy castle which was setup for a local fair, but still broke both legs, ribs, cracked skull but lived to tell the tale... 😉
295. Ben Stephenson: Perhaps the best idea is to take a parachute as your carry-on item?
296. Mike Sasse: Your first 45 seconds is the same battle I have with myself every time I fly. How is this metal tube this far up in the sky !!!!
297. Adam Weaver: Your becoming dark Joe
298. Dylan Mork: Don't panic lol "This is totaly fine"
299. Fred Leggett: People always say it's far preferable to land on pliable ground than water from a great freefall height due to the non-compressibility of said water, but I've always thought that to be absurd. Sure, if you belly-flop, you're probably dead, but if you can pencil yourself feet-first and pucker your butt, I'd think you're survivability chances would spike dramatically. You'd probably wind-up with one helluva water rash and a fair about of bruising, but I'd rather take my chances over water than land any day of the week. Of course, if you can reasonably pencil yourself, you still have the secondary survivability hurdle of not drowning. But hey, I'll take those odds versus crashing into somebody's lawn.
300. Kimberly Haines: I love how I looked on the small thumbnail on my phone, and thought it was you in the thumbnail 🤣 I also pray that I never need to know this firsthand.
301. Felgerkarb Cambodia: I remember reading about a WWI German zeppelin crewman who rode a burning zeppelin down and survived because the frame telescoped on impact and slowed his velocity when he fell out of it onto the ground. Just wow.
302. -: You didn't listen. He said to do that after you land in an unpopulated area (and survived the fall).
303. davej6312: You do the Bugs Bunny thing! Step out of the door right before the plane hits the ground. Simple Looney Tunes physics.
304. Jackie Johnson: Actually, your first statement about most plane crashes not having many survivors is false. Most plane crashes don't have any deaths. It's just that the rare fatal crashes are usually reported on more and receive more attention. For example, in 2016 there were 163 plane crashes worldwide, and only 24 resulted in fatalities. That's just about 15% Keep in mind, this is for commercial airlines, not private jets. Apparently private jets are much more dangerous.
305. João de Carvalho: Herzog was filming Aguirre just a few kilometers from where that girl was fighting for life.
306. Alex Glod: I had this topic on my mind for the past years since I started getting anxious about flying. Thanks, Joe! Now I hopefully can calm down and enjoy a glass of wine on the plane :D
307. Gordon Beck: As far as I know Juliane's mother actually survived the fall but died a few days later due to the injuries she'd sustained. Not sure if this is true though. Her husband has tried to find out what happened to her for a long time to no avail. When he identified her at the morgue in Pucallpa her body wasn't rotten or anything but after being flown to Germany all that was left in the coffin were a few bones of unknown origin and gender next to a jawbone that is known to be her mother's. I wonder what happened
308. Slim Laurence: Thanks for the video, I enjoy your content! However, there was an error about Everest. Actually, many climbers summit Everest without supplemental oxygen. It's called the death zone because you are slowly dying the entire time you are above that altitude due to the fact that it is impossible to fully acclimatize to such a low level of oxygen. Ideally you are dying at a slower rate than you are climbing so you have time to make it back down to sufficient oxygen before you get into trouble.
309. James E. Wagner JR.: A long time ago I worker with a laborer boss named Jack Hare if my memory serves me who was a guy that never ever got mad or frustrated. one day I asked him his secret to his demeanor. He told me that in ww2 he was a tail gunner in B17s and his airplane was hit by a flack burst at 10000 ft. and was burning. unable to get to his chute threw the flames he made a decision tho jump threw his blown away canopy rather than be burned to death. Falling from 10000ft to his certain death he was calm and at peace. Dyeing was something that you accepted in the job he was doing so he enjoyed the trip down. as it turned out a perfect combination of circumstances Winter snow ,mountain slops , pine trees acted like a big break to save his life. Uninjured he was later captured and interrogated. The Germans thought he might of buried important papers with his chute and performed a search He told them Americans don't need chutes. He spent the rest of the war in a prison camp. So I asked what this have to do with my question and he replied that he should have died that day and so the rest of his life was extra so no reason to ever be bothered by life IT WAS ALL GOOD!
310. Ryan Twombly: Story time with maggots is best story time.
311. One for Rock 'n Roll: Could you use the huge turd in your pants for a soft landing?
312. Susse Kind: Okay, I'm not a physicist, nor am I a doctor. However, I am a skydiver. We were always taught to land in a PLF (parachute Landing fall). Balls of the feet, calves, thigh, hip, side, shoulder, roll with head, arms and legs tucked in and repeat as often as necessary. I was always taught this was the best chance of surviving and reducing chance of injury regardless whether my parachute was fully open, partially open or not open at all. I have seen fellow skydivers hit really, really hard and not necessarily walk away, but came out alive using a PLF. I hope you don't need this information, but there it is.
313. Henri Hänninen: During 2 minutes I should probably consider whether I want to potentially live a long time in absolute agony, while medical professionals and I, are trying to somehow put me back together as functional human. Oh... And also... with the mental trauma that would follow.
314. Michael Farrell: Aww that's nice that the Nazis gave him a certificate
315. Joseph Kingsley: I don't think false hope is a bad thing when you are in a plane plummeting toward earth. It isn't like you are going to end up being crushed or anything if your hopes are shattered. Well....
316. Mythricia: ​+Susse Kind I won't really bother arguing this any further, but I think you are vastly under-estimating what this impact would be like. We're not talking about parachutes, partial or otherwise, since that's not really the topic of the video either. Anyway, you won't roll at this speed. No matter how your limbs are positioned, the inertia of the limbs themselves is far too great. They will just carry on in the same direction, along with the rest of their neighbors. They cannot possibly lever or redirect the body in any direction in 35ms. You're asking a human limb to deal with a 200G acceleration somehow. Anyway, like I said, you can believe it'll help if you want, but, in an actual freefall, this won't do anything what so ever. I seem to remember Mythbusters doing a 1000 foot drop of a crash dummy somewhere, which is significantly more robust than a human body, and I seem to recall it basically leaving a crater. Feel free to look it up.
317. Cephachrome: if you think about it, if everyone had a parachute in the 9/11 planes, many could survive
318. Roy Winkler: I'll take a goblin glider please!
319. Craigtheshoeshiner: Funny one
320. Thom Graff: Love the shirt!!!
321. Fredrick_J Maloot: Over water, try to fly in at shallow angle and skip like a stone or barefoot water ski to a grace full standup finish.
322. kk70x7: The best thing is knowing the likely outcome is cold air and oblivion.
323. BrickTsar: I often think about this topic. Yet I don’t fly much
324. Nathan Smith: I'm going to watch this on my next flight with no headphones
325. 77gravity: Nicholas Alkemade, WW2 bomber crew.
326. brad masters: 26,00? Feet
327. Don Manley: @Joe I think saying a child falls slower is erroneous while they have less mass all things fall at the same rate regardless of mass A child even has less surface area to create wind resistance Children are just biologically better suited to survive falls
328. Ray S: That was a GREAT Werner Herzog impression!
329. jonyb76: Well, that video sure as shit cheered me up....!
330. Mark Keller: Core strength!
331. Steven Spray: Yikes! That was...fun!
332. Zurround100: That scene in the 1982 movie FIRST BLOOD where Rambo survives a fall from a cliff into thick trees no longer seems so unrealistic.
333. Jennie Cartlidge: If we were made to fly, god would have given us wings.
334. D R: On the other hand... remember the Korean Airlines jet that crashed short of the runway at San Francisco? Some people in the back survived when their chair sets detached and separated from the plane. One girl in that lucky group unbuckled and started walking, then got run over and killed by the arriving fire truck. Damn.
335. Douglas MacQuarrie: AIRBORNE ROLL
336. Ian M: Turn yourself into a flying squirrel?  That trick never works ... (See what I did there?)
337. 2BitVideoGames: it's okay Joe, I can't say Puyallup and I was born in Washington.
338. DeePal072: 3:01 I thought "eat a maggot", but hey, who am I to argue...
339. indianastan: So you either dead or wish you were
340. Henden Gayoma: This video saved my life. Thanks Joe! 😊 I was panicking I'm not having any Answers with Joe notification the whole day. I was about to jump out when.....🔔😅
341. Lakewood Ed: Aim for a haystack . . .
342. Alex Gray: Joe Great video!!, classic joe style, i thoroughly enjoy the little jokes you sneak in here and there, always look forward to your content.
343. Maarrii94: I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with giving people a false sense of hope that they will survive a plane crash, unless that directly (or indirectly too, I suppose) drives them to actively cause a plane crash. If people happen to be in a plane crash and in fact survives it, then that's fantastic! If they happen to be in a plane crash, are confident they will survive, but ends up dying anyway, well.... At least they weren't afraid in their last moment's before death. It's not like they are going to sue you for false hope. They're dead.
344. Paul Cockerill: I'll keep a bottle of piss with me at all times from now on!
345. Aaron Lowe: I'm going to save this video on my phone and play it full volume next long haul flight, thanks :D
346. Christopher Censullo: Trees can stick you a little bit. LOL.
347. the walkin dude: Easy, just miss the ground. The other day I tripped over an old book. As I fell I realized that it was an old library book and wondered how much I owe on a ten year overdue book, then I remembered that I needed to feed the cat. And without realizing it, I had forgotten that I was falling and completely missed the ground. There I was, dangling in the air, gently drifting this way and that. this went on for quite some time until I remembered that I was falling. And of course that was exactly when gravity noticed what I was doing and would have none of it. If you can remember to not remember, then you'll never have to forget.
348. Wallywutsizface: Can you do a video on macaroni?
349. gearhead 130: That was a great video. Although, it might be better to just dive head first to avoid lying there suffering for an hour!
350. itai bachar: Head trauma? you will squash like an egg when coming in from 33,000. Or just a 5th floor of a building. :-)
351. Dan O'Moore: if you bend your knees you can bounce back up
352. Hipster Yoda ™: You don't
353. Roger G2: 3:10 I had to turn on captions and read bcz it sounds like you said “traitor” instead of “treasure.” LOL
354. Bad Monkey: Who are these 1-2% of watchers who dislike EVERY video?
355. Technelligence: An American pronouncing a german J- properly! Awesome dude!
356. MerryfaceAviation: hey Joe. worked as a pilot in aerial survey and instruction for two years and recently got an airline job. just to let you know that according to the NTSB, more than 95% of people who have been in a plane crash survived it (55% in more serious accidents). So yes, even in the situation where there's an emergency, you'll probably be fine. That's why they train us so. damn. much. and then when you get the job it aint over. Recurrent training every 6 months, a bunch of CBT courses, yearly medicals (biannual after the age of 45), and an industry that is constantly scrutinizing EVERYTHING you do inside and outside the flight deck. It can make life quite stressful for pilots at times, but it does make us safe, even in bad situations. We train for everything from the mundane to the "only happens once every 300 years in the global fleet" type of scenarios. Don't scare people into thinking an emergency means they're screwed. Not only is it not true, it's a tiny bit insulting and degrading for us pilots. We dedicate our lives to the safety of our flights. We literally put our lives on the line so that people can travel for work and see their loved one. Trips that once before would have been impossible. love the videos. Find the link to the Flight Safety report below (It's a pfd download). https://flightsafety.org/fsd/fsd_oct01.pdf
357. Rob Picton: You are forgetting the very likely change of your lungs getting burst due to rapid decompression
358. trpy007: If you are talking about former Czechoslovakia, you could highlight Slovakia as well. But props to you!!! Great video as always! :)
359. Maria Page: The skit had me laughing! Great video thank you sir!
360. Alan S.: Interesting, weird and informative.
361. Daein Ballard: I fly for work a lot and have thought about this quite a bit. Especially while sitting on a plane experiencing extreme turbulence. Quite frankly the scariest moment is the moment the plane hits the runway during landing. It tends to bounce and skid sideways a bit. I imagine this every time: https://youtu.be/AcDLvQCok64?t=96
362. James Sherosick: Clench my butt cheeks, ✔ drink my own piss,✔ way ahead of you Joe.
363. Thats Nodildo: Why i dont get on planes. i prefer my feet on the ground
364. seven of 9 startrekie: These instructions are great, but can one really stay calm when falling out of an air plane, especially if that person has a fear of height. I never think about falling out of air plane, because if I did I wouldn't travel. For those who survive the nightmare, wow, the human body is a wonderland, a complex machine, I was paralyzed from waist down for 48 hrs w/o medical attention, my body got back to normal by itself, that was 10 yrs ago, I'm fine now, I just can't gain weight, I can bend, I can run, little things taking for granted, they're huge deal to me now.
365. Craig Nelson: People always say flying is safer than driving. You also fly less than you drive
366. David B: I laughed so much watching this one! 😂😂😂
367. MrFranklin201: Yea that happened!
368. Michael Ogden: My brother-in-law says the best thing to have if you ever fall out of a plane is a long extension cord because there is no way that it won't get tangled in something before you hit the ground.
369. Bill Kerr: The vast majority of plane accidents happen on takeoff or when landing. Many of these accidents are survivable. Seats behind the front of the wing have significantly better odds. Seats near emergency exits have significantly better odds. Listen to the flight attendant's safety briefing. Know where all the exits are. Count the number of seats between you and the exit in front of you and the exit behind in case you can't see while exiting (smoke, lights out, something in your eyes) Pay attention to where the life vest is even if not flying over water (think Capt.Skulley) Abandon personal possessions. You need your hands free. Trust me, the airline will buy you new stuff. Hustle as if your life depends on it. Poisonous smoke is the biggest threat once the plane has come to a stop. Don't linger in smoke. Don't panic. Keep people moving. Help others exit once you're out.
370. The Big Picture: I fell from a lower height while rock climbing. Fortunately a cedar tree was below me so I spread out and aimed for it. Gravity really does suck as I hit that tree with shocking force, crashing through all the branches before being stopped by the second lowest one. Injuries sustained were a bad concussion and torn shoulder but was elated to be walking away.
371. QuantumBraced: "...and then she made a full recovery and went back to being a flight attendant". Damn... the balls on this woman.
372. Rustic Duck Furniture: Have been binge watching your videos - unfortunately my brain is wired so that nothing physics related makes any sense at all, but you are still hilarious and relay the information in a way that makes me want to see more! Thank you ☺
373. Earn -: Technically all planes fall from the sky, just most do it in a controlled manner called landing. ;)
374. N-word Jim: That would have to be scary as hell seeing the ground and your death getting closer and closer every second. Gives me chills just thinking about it.
375. Solarstorm: you can bring an avalanche airbag on a plane. that might help
376. Lokey Artist: I'm free, free fallen.
377. Wes James: I recently became aware that you and your videos exist. The rest of my day is going to be watching as many as I can, gunna get smart af! See you on the other side.
378. Adam Shepherd: Actually the odds of surviving a plane crash are higher than you would think. You should go look at the stats. Something like 95% of crash victims actually survive plane crashes. I can't remember exactly, but the data is out there.
379. kevenquinlan: Your segues WERE hilarious- thanks.
380. Artificial Avocado: I love the drink your own piss meme. An oldie but goodie! Lol
381. Ron Schlorff: yes there's a tv show called "why planes crash", who the heck watches that?
382. KatniMazniv 471: Tonk
383. Edwin Custo: So your last moments stuck in a plane with others screaming OR enjoy the out doors, lovely wind blowing by your body and get the best view ever of the earth your about to collide with lolz I think I prefer my last moments of life with the latter and get to fly like an eagle 👍👍👍👍👍
384. h0ckeyd: There is a legend that a flight attendant was found at the site of the Lockerbie crash who, given quicker medical attention should have survived also.
385. TazeMeBro McCleskey: Guess those so called scientists never heard of the "Super Hero Landing"
386. wiamoaw: Wait until just before the plane hits the ground then jump off?
387. contrarian duude: Next time I fly I'm bring my own serving cart!
388. Ollie Price: Messes me up knowing that the real reason an airline company want you to go into the brace position is so that its easier to break your neck on impact. The higher the mortality rate the less survivors claiming compensation :/
389. Nigel Weir: Bad news , more chance of dying on the way to the airport and coming away from it , significantly more
390. ashley grinnell: okay the idea of pencil diving into a deep dark horrifying ocean after falling for 3 mins and barely being alert and oriented I’d hope the fall would just kill me on sight tbh
391. DagarCoH: Sure, if you identify as a jet.
392. Mikey Joubbs: The Nazi's weren't all bad -Joe
393. Ron Schlorff: forget the girl in accounting, go for the one in the stock room, you can close the door there!
394. Mila Koprivica: I'm the dash from Patreon. IT'S ACTUALLY A MINUS... ...is what i hoped i would find in the comments, but I didn't so I made it
395. Brent Daniel: I now have a false sense of hope.
396. bum knuckle: Why do I keep watching you? Half of the video's you put out give me F'd up dreams!
397. Perry Joshi-Godrez: The European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) has examined the survivability of aircraft accidents worldwide, estimating that 90 percent are survivable (no passengers died) or “technically survivable," where at least one occupant survives. Most of those fatalities were a result of impact and fire-related factors including smoke inhalation after impact.
398. Dale Holmes: Joe, I bet you could do a fascinating episode on the TSA's "Security Theater". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_theater This Wikipedia article reads almost like a script. Consider the supremely ironic tragedy of thousands more travelers dying over the years on the highways to avoid the TSA's indignities and civil rights violations than the TSA could ever dream of actually saving.
399. Chun Kau Simon Cheung: Good to know :) since flying is 300 times saver than driving and I don’t fly much, I guess I don’t need to put that to practice ;)
400. Ron Schlorff: Fill the bulky areas of the wing suit with stuffing; they'll just think you're fat!
401. Aniket Jelle: 4:07 it's PUCALLPA
402. Jack Martinelli: First close your eyes to keep your eyelids from freezing to your eyeballs. Curl up in a ball to minimize your suface area. Count to 90 seconds. from 30K feet that get you to 15K feet where you can breathe & temp is ok. THEN open your eyes & open up to the spread eagle position. etc etc.
403. Alejandro Mery: _Arresto Momentum!_
404. Ruben Pelli: I got so anxious watching this i am actually sweating
405. Thomas Bigalow: Wow thats incredible Nazis gave certificates, i feel so bad for thinking they were evil now
406. Grimmdus: Dont forget Michael Holmes who fell 12k ft without a parachute on video. EVen had the time to say bye and was conscious and talking after the impact
407. Harry Stoltz: Thanks, I really needed this advice right now
408. Dante S: do some experiments!
409. Dennis Dmitriev: I always wondered why don't they just pack a parachute under the seat instead of those stupid fart filled floating cushions :)
410. Oliver Ebbing: Bear Grylls is awesome 😂😎
411. David Sims: Every day about eight million people fly on approximately 83000 commercial air flights. Once in a while, something bad happens to one of them.
412. ThisIsABot: Step 1: Don't get on a plane
413. quiron139: Great video!!
414. Andrew Vieira: Hi Joe, any chance you can talk about Bob Lazar? He has a new documentary out
415. M. H.: 8:09 the death zone starts at 26 feet? I definitely wont go up a skyscraper then... XD
416. Pvt. Duckling: So... Wear a wing suit and do a barrel roll? Alright, ordering a flight ticket to try it out.
417. Montgomery Burns: So, the rule your parents taught you about always wearing clean underwear in case you're in an accident is pretty much null and void in this case, right? Just checking.
418. James Humphrey: in 20 years it will be illegal to drive a car and or fly an airplane
419. Ron Schlorff: or swim
420. Alexi7666: Waaay too much B.S. and mindless chatter.
421. WfB.Subtraktor: 5:13 that german accent is 10/10
422. Socks With Sandals: What's the last thing that goes through your mind when you fall from a plane? Your broken femurs. After they pierced your lungs.
423. Vidroiu Alin: Another way to create drag, would be to open your jacket or whatever you wear, preferably a jacket though, to catch as much air into it. This would act as a mini parachute, since it would almost double the surface of air resistance, without increasing your weight. That's why you should keep your jacket either on you, or around you on a plane. I know flight attendants tell you to put it away or wear it, but that's just during take off or landing. So next time, just wear it during take off.....you might need it to land :P
424. Claudette s: This had me cracking up on the bus. They can go ahead and judge me, I'm learning and laughing. This was awesome.
425. Huey Iroquois: Considering that military organizations, especially Nazis, are obsessed with records, giving the ball-turret gunner a certificate isn't surprising.
426. James Lucas: It takes 2:00 of brooking to get to the reason I clicked on the video.
427. OceanBagel: 3:48 RIP ad revenue
428. Truly Infamous: You just need to equip your Lucky horseshoe. Also, 8:08 26,00 feet?
429. Joachim Voldseth: Just board the plane with a slim parachute on your back
430. Neutron X: I LOVE FLYING! Cuz I'm closer to SPACE! ;P
431. Pete Peter: It's not flying that makes me anxious...it's NOT flying, ya know what I mean??
432. Susse Kind: +Mythricia as I stated before, one would position their body before impact (usually a parachute would be partially open creating enough drag for the feet already to face downward. In the case of no parachute one would have to position themselves before hand) once impact occurs, no effort needs to be undertaken by the individual. Gravity and forward momentum well cause the body to crumple and roll on its own. As long as the feet and body are at a slight angle and not perpendicular to the ground it will cause the body to roll to one side. Rolling, as in a somersault, where it would be continuously repeated, would only happen in an impact with significant forward speed. It really depends on the kind of impact, as well as the terrain.
433. ZastyHeide: Isn't it quit obvious how to land from a fall? Just do a Superman landing. Works in the movies.....
434. Paul: No concensus on now to hit the ground hahahaha!
435. Peter Dawes: You need to find where they hid the black box, because if that's the only thing they expect to get back, then you should be attached to it.
436. Sean Joseph: Aircraft mechanic here...just for info...no aircraft ever takes off fully serviceable.
437. Nana Kwaku Akrofi: Good one Joe👍 Really educative
438. Greg's Garage: Awesome word count: Butt Cheeks -1, Giant Turd -1, Piss -1.
439. Noah: Are u ever gonna do an Oumaumua video?
440. EP4ever legend: Red bull would that help at 33,000 feet?
441. SpectreOne: My Great-Grandfather would tell me about a squadmate that hit the ground without his parachute deploying during D-day. The fall broke nearly every bone in his body, but they managed to get him out to safety. I wouldn't have any idea on how to confirm the story though.
442. Ben Stephenson: Peggy Hill survived a fall from jumping out of a plane when her parachute and backup parachute failed
443. Jean Rossouw: Holy shit! Was I the only one that freaked out during this video......my imagination is way out!
444. jsl209: Oh man, great stuff! I literally burst out laughing on that Bear Grylls bit...
445. cdeford: When I was young the Nicholas Alkemade story, also from WW2, was quite well-known. He crashed through trees and into a snowdrift. Probably forgotten now. I watch those air crash disasters shows which have given me enormous respect for the people who fly those things.
446. Mangmang 385: You said at the end that the safest mode of transport is a plane, but a chairlift is much safer. Still a great video
447. Fuzzy Lumpkin: Hey Scott good show thanks
448. Amanda IsAwesome: You had me crying laughing with this one. 😂🤣Great info and you are hilarious! Love your channel! 💕
449. ddthames: When falling (belly to earth) arching your back adds stability. But once stable, de-arching and flatting out slows you down. De-arched I can get down to about 110 MPH. Arched hard, up to about 125-128 MPH. But yes arch hard to get stable and stop flipping over.
450. Camo Mojo: Great work Joe, loved every single second.
451. Lore Master Mack: Enter water feet first, butthole cupped with left hand, junk cupped with right lol
452. RRW: Sounds like Alan magee took the whole "breaking the glass ceiling" thing a bit to literally.
453. Ron Schlorff: Oh yeah, when I was a kid I went to the moon and back, without a scratch....at Disneyland :D
454. Justin Case: Wear a climbing harness under your suit. Carry a parachute in your carry on. If things go bad, plop that puppy on your lap and clip it to your climbing harness. If thing go from bad to worse, hug it tight, and if you find yourself falling through the sky, wait until AFTER you regain consciousness (about 15,000 feet), the wait even longer, until you're about 3,000 feet high (you can just begin to see tiny people) and pull the chute out of the bag. If it's freezing cold, roll up in the parachute for warmth. Start signal fires. Find water. Use a signal mirror to flag down help.
455. Ihaveausernametoo: If I get very fat and round? More cushin' for the wreckin'? Or that would perhaps become too heavy and risk hurting even more when slammed into things? Anyone still concious when falling gets one free kamikaze of anything they can see on the ground.
456. Marc MkKoy: Any data on just landing on the turd in your pants? Asking for a worst nightmare.
457. Stanley Orchard: Mr. Scott you are awesome sir. I laugh more with every video and love the information you provide. Next time I am falling to my death out of a plane I will be thinking of you sir. Much appreciated!
458. Robin: If you fall out of an airplane, drink your own piss. Got it.
459. JoshieMike: don't fall out of a plane
460. Pawel Zybulskij: Even if plane lost its all engine/runout of fuel pilot still could glide on the ground with pretty low vertical velocity while person without parachute will hit the ground at about 180-200 kph no surprize survival rate inside a plane better.
461. Stephen Beres: I've always dosed myself to the max with Valium and Morphine for each flight. Blissful indifference is the only way to fly. I have suggested that the Oxygen masks over each seat to be fitted with an additional option. That passengers could activate them to provide Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) for the duration of the flight.
462. Singe Chamberlain: What about the sudden decompression? I'd heard that would immediately rupture your lungs above 30,000 feet? So in order to survive you would need to be under a certain altitude? Anyone know if this is true?
463. GUILLERMO CISBANI: Note: do not watch this video during a flight. Or specially do that during a flight... Whatever....
464. Dylan Barker: I would survive I would restart the game
465. Vera Sepulveda: Awesome segues indeed! But I was taught (lifeboat survival training) that you should never drink pee: It's sterile, but it will only make you thirstier. Then again, that was 1983. Maybe there have been advances...
466. Roger G2: Knowing my luck...smh. I’d survive the crash and the fall-but not the crocodiles.
467. Khan: Very interesting video as usual. You need more subs :) Greetings
468. saksham kumar: I feel like I have a test tomorrow of jumping out of the plane.
469. danieltwl: I was first and joe didn’t like my comment :(((
