How did Ben survive?

"Luck," some said.

"Karma," others argued.

But I say it was divine intervention.  It had to have been.  What other power in the universe, could save a man, Ben in this case, from death after falling four stories?

I've heard of people dying in midair from a heart attack as they see the ground raced toward them.  But not Ben.

Someone said when most people hit the ground, their brain hemerrages and they die in seconds, quick and painless.  But not Ben.

Others say, a falling victim bleeds out upon hitting the ground.  But Ben didn't.

Four stories is a long drop.  I've heard off people bruising abdomens, and breaking ribs simply from jumping wrong off a high dive, a mere ten feet off the ground.

Paratroopers have broken legs, ankles, and knees as their bodies come in swift contact with the ground, even with their effectively deployed parachutes.

How could Ben, with no special training, no special abilities, and no survival skills survive?

One answer.

You know.

I know.

He knows.

Two simple words.  They hold the key.  The key to explanation, and living free.  Living free of death and injury.

Divine Intervention.
