 There is an explation on pentaxforums of how it was done.
 Is amazing what the K10D will stand up to.

I like the impact resistant box.  I wonder how it would hold up
 meeting the dirt at terminal velocity.

A lifetime ago, I worked for a camera store. One day a camera came in
for repair.
Except not a repair, more of a reasurrance check.
Apparently, at the Moose Jaw Air Force base, they have guys who jump
out of perfectly good 
airplanes.
one day, one of them decided to take a Minolta Maxxum 7000 with him on
his jump.
Anyway, the wost happened, and the camera fell free when the parachute
opened.
The fellow was able to follow it to the ground, and this is the camera
that I talk about.
Minolta cleaned the dirt off of it as a gratuity (it had hit a freshly
plowed wheat field), 
replaced a broken gear under warranty and sent it back to us.

Woops, thunder storm.
Gotta go.

They should take it up to about 25k feet with no impact case and drop it 
without a chute and see what happens.
