In free-fall, you get to terminal velocity (120 mph) in about 1500 ft. Guys have survived 175 mph crashes on motorcycles (Daytona Speedway- blown frt tire) and 220+ crashes (various racetracks) in cars. All bets are off if there are solid objects around your vehicle, though.
I always remember the pilot's old saying: "The safest airplane known is the Piper Cub. It can barely kill you...." I've got 3000+ hrs of flying time in military aircraft & I think I've used up all my good luck.
