ISTR an eastern European (Russian?) air hostess "falling to earth" after surviving a catastrophic failure in an airliner in the 50s or 60s... I'll see what I can dig up...
...... snow would seem to a good thing to have underneath, assuming no parachute above!
Edited to add:
Found her! Yugoslav not Russian and in 1972 - one
Vesna Vulovic
... looks like she was in a bit of wreckage rather than "solo"....
