Not true. At the highest levels (around 1300 feet), you would not be at a high enough altitude to gain enough speed to pass out before you hit the ground. I don't know where you get the "dead before you even hit the pavement" comment from. The only thing that might cause you to die would be a heart attack, but that's hardly a given.
