Our cat Jack jumps into our arms pretty frequently, typically from the ground. He'll land with a paw on either side of your neck and rub his face on your chin/nose, we'll of course catch him when he lands on us. But he doesn't use his claws at all, he totally trusts you to catch him.
Once or twice he has jumped up outside at night when we couldn't see him and he still won't use his claws, he'll hit your chest, fall away then run away for a bit.
He first started doing this when he was about 2 years old, he'd be spazzing out tearing around at 400 miles an hour, jump off the couch, onto/off your chest and keep burning around.
A couple of times wen he was moving a little slower I'd grab him when he'd hit my chest, pet him for a bit then let him keep tearing around.
Eventually when he was only slightly wound up I started encouraging him to jump into my arms from the couch, he did that for a few weeks and then started doing it pretty much whenever we encouraged it and started initiating it himself, slight crouch with eye contact then BIOING!
Then one day he walked up to my wife outside, gave her the look, and since then he does it all the time, a couple times a day for both of us typically.
I'm sure he's not the only cat to do this, but I think its probably pretty rare too, so here is a poll to find out!
