what!!! how do you pull it together after some shit like that. You're going down at 80mph, you hit a giant sheet, get wrapped up, unwrapped, straighten yourself out and reach back and grab a small cord sticking out your back pack. unreal

Actually, Spindog was fairly correct. You fall at an average of 33 feet per second/per second. In other words, after 1 second, you fall 33 feet. After 2, 66 feet. After 3, 99 feet... and so on until terminal velocity is attained. The guy fell approx 4 seconds until impact. 132 feet (approx) per second. That put him at roughly 90 mph at impact. 88 feet per second is 60 mph and 176 feet per second is 120 mph. 132 is dead between 88 and 176. So, it's gotta be 90 mph.
