How is that Theon Greyjoy and Sansa Stark survived the jump in the first episode of the sixth season (The Red Woman) of Game of Thrones? It was a big distance between the wall and land. How did that happen?

2I live on a ski resort and know that at that distance it would take a lot of soft fresh snow to cushion there fall from any injuries,. However if there was that much snow they would sink in it and be suffocated to death. So I'm still confused how they lived, and also how Tyrion survived the Harpies after denarys was taken by her dragon they were still outnumbered by a lot– Peter BainJul 12, 2017 at 23:36

From the already published chapter of Winds of Winter:
"I saved her." The outer wall of Winterfell was eighty feet high, but beneath the spot where he had jumped the snows had piled up to a depth of more than forty. A cold white pillow. The girl had taken the worst of it. (...) Theon had landed on top of her, and broken some of her ribs. "I saved the girl," he said. "We flew."
We can assume that in the show they also landed on a large snowdrift, it just wasn't presented on screen.

Leave it to Theon to drop 40 feet, land on top of Jeyne, and break some of her ribs but still claim that he saved her.– JayMar 12, 2019 at 1:25
