    It has happened, yes. It has also been the cause of many deaths. So, yes, there is a chance, but not a very good one.

    If you get sucked in a tornado and thrown out ... there is a _small_ chance you can still survive.

    Sure. It would depend on what you landed on.

    It is possible, but most people would be severely injured and definitely some would die.

    Yes, the record distance for surviving being thrown by a tornado was broken a few years ago.

    This is the story of the previous record holder. http://jaytrobec.com/index.php/state-of-extremes/r...

    Most likely no. Due to hitting the ground so hard to kill u. Or it's possible to pass out due to the pressure and dizziness in the tornado then be killed by hitting the ground.
