Can you survive this?

 

lolwut

 

lol how high are you? i can hear it in your voice and see it in your eyes haha i love it

now to your question. if you stiffened/flattened your body i suspect you'd fall faster cuz there is less surface area. not to say that would even cause much of a difference. and now for speed i have no idea what speed you'd fall at, i can't even guestimate...but man have you ever hit water and it hurt like water skiing or anything...hitting water going at fast speeds makes the water feel like fucking glass

god damn idk if the body could even survive the impact

:sifone:

 

hahaha yes, i was pretty baked. but thats a good theory!
im not really looking for someone to have a specific answer, i just want people to kinda think about that and be like "woah, shit, that'd be trippy" haha.
but i like your thought thats a good point.

 

you hit the water with the force of 120 mph... The terminal velocity of this skydiver is about 124 mph (200 kph)... like hitting solid ground.

static lines used at lower altitude almost guarantees a chute opens, but the diver is still in control from there..
