I believe terminal velocity for skydivers is about 122 mph which is about 54 meters per second.

Out of curiosity why would one change from "US units' or whatever the fuck its called to metric in the same sentence? You trying to fuck wit us? Stop that……now…how many FEET  per…oh never mind..I got it already.

That's just the way its written on wikipedia when you google skydiver terminal velocity.

Also that bit about putting some sort of tracker on the jumpers belt buckle which would then somehow 'steer' the jumper through the hole in the roof is, well, complete bullshit. You maneuver in free fall by placement of your arms and legs. Bullshit bullshit bullshit bullshit.
That's where I started laughing.

Best stunt you've never seen.

It would have been much more interesting where they did one and the dude misses. Messy but interesting.

Watch some Russian dash cam videos.

Is it me but when they talk about free fall velocity they always use the word "terminal".

The highest velocity you can achieve, the terminus of your acceleration due to gravity.

Terminal Velocity would be a good title for a movie or a book, regardless of what it really means.  Say, "Terminal Velocity,"  in a low booming voice, and see if you don't automatically get goose bumps, or a premonition of excitement.

A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life’s realities â€" all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. -TR
