To answer your question we need more info - as I said the human body only takes such much deceleration - your best chance is to extend the duration of the collision or minimise the change in direction this would increase your chance of survival.
My CAT (year 11 physics) was based on a person that jumped out of a 14 story building and lived - he landed on a roof of a car which completly collapsed but increase the time of the collision thus enabling him to survive - had he hit the pavement he wouldnt have been so lucky.
