"...but I was experiencing an odd sensation. It wasn't exactly an out-of-body experience, but I certainly didn't feel connected to my body..."

"It wasn't exactly an out-of-body experience, but I certainly didn't feel connected to my body..." That's the endorphins kicking in.

As a master parachutist myself, and a veteran of over 10,000 jumps including both sport and military ... I can say this guy was lucky. I've seen plenty of partial malfunctions in my time - most do not end well. The ones that do, and there have only been two that I have witnessed, were because their falls were broken. One by soft earth and the other by a pool of water and mudd.
As we say ... "It's not the fall the kills you, but rather the landing."
