  • nice work, get a better camera though

    and watch Ready To Go - Raoul

    its on allezbase

  • Pełen szał 5/5 !

  • Damn, i have much respect for that guy!

  • Hmm, if i know who your talking about, he went past the speed of sound (dayyuuum) very thin air helped him.

  • This video and song are totally awesome!

    Thx for postin chriss!

  • Smaller surface represented to relative wind = less drag = faster fall rate = greater terminal velocity.

    Terminal varies with body position. The speed you quoted is an accepted average fall rate for a belly to earth tandem.

    These guys are falling much slower with higher forward speeds.

  • sorry i retract that...

    As far as skydiving records go, both Fournier and Stearns are

    chasing Capt. Joe Kittinger, who set the record for a freefall skydive

    in 1960. He fell from 102,800 feet up, and reached speeds of up to 600

    MPH.

  • well matt, that applies to normal skydiving. Not winged suit jumping.

    The current record of speed for skydiving is 357 mph.

  • More Like 120 Mph..As the object accelerates (usually downwards due to gravity), the drag force acting on the object increases. At a particular speed, the drag force produced will be equal to the downward force, mostly the weight (mg), of the object. Eventually, it plummets at a constant speed called terminal velocity

  • All I can say is don't push it man, 190mph into solid rock isn't healthy.
