One time while playing GC, my X-wing was about to explode, so I jumped, despite the fact that there were no chutes. To my amazment, I was on a collision course with a landspeeder parked on the ground, so I instinctivley spammed the E button and managed to survive the fall by entering the vehicle. (there is no luck, there is the force) that must be how Luke survived, he spammed the E button as he was approaching that tube thing.
And now we know what he really meant with 'Ben, why didn't you tell me', and the deleted scene where Ben shows up as a ghost and goes, 'read the smurfing manual, Luke'.
