Are there any rules for ditching from a flying vehicle? Especially ones that are fairly close to the earth. I know that land based crash tests can be survived, and that in reality people have bailed out from aircraft in real life. However surviving a crash test that starts at a mile up kind of strains belief. Excuse me if I simply missed this one while reading through the section on crash tests and such.
