Nicholas Stephen Alkemade, Flight Sergeant rear gunner in Royal Air Force.
Avro Lancaster B Mk. II, DS664 of No.115 Squadron RAF, read what happened that night of 24 March 1944:

http://ww2awartobewon.com/wwii-articles/nicholas-alkemade-no-parachute-lived/

“It has been investigated and corroborated by the German authorities that the claim of Sergeant Alkemade, No. 1431537, is true in all respects, namely, that he has made a descent from 18,000 feet without a parachute and made a safe landing without injuries, the parachute having been on fire in the aircraft. He landed in deep snow among fir trees.

Corroboration witnessed by:
Flight Lieut. H.J. Moore (Senior British Officer)
Flight Sergeant R.R. Lamb
Flight Sergeant T.A. Jones
(25/4/44)”

I raise my Stanwell with Davidoff Argentina and a cup of Greek coffee to his memory.

He was a lucky man. A small number of similar cases of individuals surviving after a free-fall from an aircraft have been carefully studied and corroborated by the US Army Air Force during WW2. It seems that the crucial factor is that the deep snow into which the person lands consist of many alternating layers of hard crust and soft, "rotten" snow, like a tall, layer cake. Landing in entirely soft snow usually does not decelerate the body enough before the snow runs out. Landing in all hard snow is as traumatic as landing on concrete. With alternating layers, each rigid layer decelerates the body, but then shatters from lack of support, before causing injury. The survivors seldom penetrated more than 5 feet of the layered hard/soft snow.

Kings Mountain, October 7, 1780 British Army Major Patrick Ferguson [was Scottish born in Edinburgh] and his men were surrounded. With his defensive perimeter shrinking, Ferguson tried to lead his men in a breakout. Mounted on his horse cut with his own sword the surrender flags and charged to the Patriots asking from his men to follow him. This made him an A' class target and multiple muskets aim at him. After a barrage of fire 8 musket balls struck him] his body fall back and with his foot still in the stirrup the horse fled down the hill to the Rebels.
Some say that when an American walked toward him asking to surrender, the moribund drew his pistol and fired.
A mountain sharpshooter named Robert Young was the first who shot him, "i will try and see what Sweet Lips can do".
