I saw that chick on the news, she only suffered a bit of frostbite and a few bruises.
Amazing.

That is totally amazing!!! I once watched a docco on this and most people meet their maker when this occurs..I think this was also a story they used on one of them CSI shows too.

One of my mates knows a bloke who steeped out of a balloon at 31,300m wearing nothing but a spacesuit and a parachute.
