is the probability of living through a catastrophic failure in a plane better inside or jumping out of the plane?

Let's assume a 737 plane has lost total control of both jets. At this point, as the plane is in free-fall, would one have a better chance of surviving a buckled-in impact inside of the plane or would there be a lesser impact if one were to jump out, assuming he/she knows how to skydive (but with no parachute).


My thinking is lesser terminal velocity = less force of impact. But there's also more structural support from the seat/plane's general make-up.

Airplanes go into free fall when the wings break off, or they stall. Loss of engines just makes it a very big glider. 

A big airplane is made of aluminum and built to survive all manner of crashes. You are made of meat, squishy and can be damaged just by falling a few feet. Which do you think will handle the impact better?

Also: terminal velocity for a human is about 120 miles per hour. You splat. Badly.
