It isn't survivable, just as losing a wing on an airplane isn't
survivable, except in the most unusual of circumstances.

I do know a an accident with a glider where the pilot lost a wing, spin down
into a marsh with big fluffy trees and survied. It happened in Florida a few
years ago and the glider was a 1-26.
