Nitpick: In “Point Break” Keanu jumped out of the plane w/o a chute and “caught up” to Patrick Swayze, who was wearing one. So technically, you don’t have to have a chute (of your own).
No clip of it that I could find on youtube 
I think Mythbusters debunked that.
IIRC they “bunked” it. Will search.

EPISODE TITLE: AIRPLANE HOUR
ORIGINAL AIR DATE: 12/12/07
SYNOPSIS: Jamie and Adam take wing to test if a person with no flight training can safely land plane and if a plane can take off from a conveyor belt speeding in the opposite direction. Tory, Grant, and Kari jump on some Hollywood-inspired skydiving myths.
Point Break Trilogy
Myth #1:
Can you have a conversation with someone while you’re free falling during a skydive?
Myth #2:
How long does it take to hit the ground from 4,000 feet?
Myth #3:
Can you catch up to someone during a free fall?
Myth #4: Talked Into Landing
Can a civilian actually land a jet by getting talked down by the tower?
Results-
Myth #1 BUSTED
Myth #2 BUSTED (Movie=1min1/2-2mins.) (MB=31sec.)
Myth #3 CONFIRMED
Myth #4 PLAUSIBLE

As an instructor told my friend before his first solo jump,
´ If anything goes wrong, don´t panic, you have the rest of your life to sort it out.´
Do grave diggers sell combo disinternment /reinternment packages or BOGOs?
It almost seems a shame to make his widow pay full price twice… 
Negative.
I shutter at the very thought.
IANASD, but I have been informed multiple times that a non-parachute assisted landing is called a “bounce”. Apparently you can bounce, sometimes more than once, although I’ve also been told that the damage from the first landing is usually sufficient to ensure you aren’t conscious/alive for any subsequent body-earth contacts.
I used to work with a guy who was a Marine. They were having an exercise and he was on the ground standing by his superior non-com watching the parachutes. One guy fouled his 'chute and deployed his reserve either without releasing the main or too soon after releasing the main. The Sergeant said, ‘He’s dead.’ My friend said when they looked at the body there was a brown streak coming out the side, like stepping on a catsup packet.
Yes, but they didn’t try to test the idea that, without a tandem harness, the jumper without the chute could hang on to the other jumper and maintain his grip when the chute opened. I kind of think it wouldn’t work.
But it’s a great new idea for the Mythbusters to test. And it wouldn’t be all that hard, either, with a couple of experienced jumpers. The only problem: I don’t see an easy way to get a big explosion to end the show with.
We’ve all (?) seen groups skydivers make formations, so it seemed obvious they could accelerate/decelerate and “steer” themselves. Presumably, Keanu’s character was such a stud that holding on to the other guy wasn’t an issue for him.
Couple other things tho…1) What (additional) forces would be transmitted to the one in the harness when the chute opened? Would it likely break bones, create the wedgie from hell…? 2) Are parachutes designed for particular weights? Would lines rip through the fabric under “double the stress,” for instance?
ETA FWIW: the movie didn’t depict these two gently gliding to the ground. Keanu pulled the cord so late that they landed hard but survived.
I thought #4 had been done here, either in column or a GQ. The consensus was the best you could hope for is a crash where not absolutely everybody dies.
Video of a fellow jumping out of a plane and then being harnessed by another person wearing a parachute: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDBrdl2sZWs
IIRC Mythbusters conclusion was partly based on the prevalence of autopilots.
If Kenan’s on the plane it’s all good though. He clocked over 2,000 hours on the PlayStation simulator.
Jump over a minefield perhaps?
What’s the difference between a bad golfer and a bad skydiver?
A bad golfer goes … THWACK … “Damn!”
A bad skydiver goes …
“Damn!”

Oscar was an unlucky sap. Having just spent megabucks on a skydiving class, he dove out of the airplane and pulled the ripcord. The chute emerged, tangled, and he cut it free. He then pulled the cord on the reserve chute, and it also was tangled. He prayed to his God and looked down to the ground below. To his amazement, a woman was coming up with equal velocity. “Hey, you know anything about parachutes?” he shouted to her, as they passed by. The reply: “No… you know anything about Coleman stoves?”
I think you’re both a little confused. I recall threads here asking whether someone with a lot of simulator experience, but no real flying time, could land a jet airliner. And the conclusion of most Doper pilots was what Skylark said. That’s different from being talked down over the radio by an experienced pilot who knows exactly what the cockpit of the plane your flying looks like, which is basically what *Mythbusters *did.
At the end of the *Mythbusters * segment, the pilot who successfully talked down both Adam and Jamie said (paraphrasing), “Of course, in many modern jets, all I’d really have to do is tell you to push the autopilot button, and then help you set the autoland coordinates.”
A common tale among skydivers I’ve known: The first impact doesn’t kill you – it merely shatters every bone in your body. It’s the second impact, which drives all of those bone shards into your internal organs, that kills you.
