See, I could totally do that. It looks like fun. Safer than the interstate.

Yeah, no one's been killed (yet) from jumping from that high up!

And a follow up question. Is terminal velocity variable depending on altitude? Seems like the air is thinner up there, and wouldn't slow you down as much. I would expect the jumper to accelerate quickly up to some terminal velocity, and gradually slow down slightly as the air got thicker, and then finally slow down a lot when the chute is deployed.

* In this case the splatter will be confined to the inside of the special splatter bag. This will allow easy no-fuss cleanup. Or. A unique speed-up if he is intercepted by a Pratt and Whitney somewhere. |
