It seems to be a violent and dangerous deceleration, i guess he has some way to reduce his speed asap. I don't know how btw. I'm assuming he will slow down naturally due to wind resistance. He won't get to terminal velocity but he will get pretty close back to it. I'm not a physics nerd, but I believe he will actually have a higher terminal velocity at the height he is due to the air being thinner. | ||

It seems to be a violent and dangerous deceleration, i guess he has some way to reduce his speed asap. I don't know how btw. The thicker atmosphere will slow him down the further he falls, there is such thing as terminal velocity and at lower atmospheric pressure the speed at which a human can fall is greater because there is less air resistance. So to answer your question, he will slow down when the air gets "thicker" also at that point he can make himself larger by (laying flat, extending arms and legs).

Downforce (gravity)=Upforce (wind resistance) | ||

I was just thinking that air's resistance would slow his acceleration, but he can also reduce his speed with laying or use some kind of wings between legs and arms. I just didn't think enough  Thx guys | ||

This man is going to pass mach 1 http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2012-10/how-felix-baumgartner’s-skydive-should-unfold Did they seriously use the term terminal velocity for a guy that's going to do a parachute jump wtf. This should be in about an hour and fifteen minutes, if I reading the clock right? And how much is 120000ft? | ||
