That is very true. I wiped out on a fancy dive when I was a kid and knocked the wind out of me. That was only a 4-5 drop and I hit the bottom of a 12 ft pool. I didn't think I was going to make it to the surface. I had a lifeguard pulling me out when I got close to the top.
I can't imagine dropping the distance she did and not going so deep that drowning was the only outcome.
