May be the first with NO PARACHUTE in Cali, but I remember reading a couple of accounts about bomber crew members in WWII that chose to jump rather than die in a burning bomber...and LIVED. One I remember reading about, the B-17 tail gunner reached for his parachute, only to find it damaged from burning. He jumped from somewhere around 10,000 ft. and landed in deep snow with just cuts, bruises, concussions, and multiple broken bones...but ALIVE!
