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.

A few people have survived parachute jumps when the chute didn't open, too,
but it's certainly not common. Anything is possible.
