It's not the falling that kills you, it's the sudden stop
There have been a couple people that survived falling without a working parachute. Crazy rare, though.
You only need one if you plan to skydive twice.
As long as you can figure out that first step you're fine!
You could also use a wingsuit, or a whole lot of helium balloons.
