Science may never be able to explain what protected Moreno when the platform he and his brother were using atop an Upper East Side apartment tower broke free and fell to the ground.

Okay, not completely free-fall. Reduce the Gs at ground level, you may have a chance.

He remembered to jump up and down in the falling elevator, giving him a 50 50 chance of being in the air when it hit (lol).

There was a show just on that had footage of an F-18 crashing at an air show.

The Marine pilot survived the estimated 75G stop.

Had his face pushed in 1/2" by the stick when the harness snapped, and he went forward. They said that saved his life.

Walks with a cane now.
