Deadpool Wrote:Well I calculate if he is falling at about 100 feet per second, he would be falling for about 1 minute and 10 seconds. The last 50 seconds I would say would be the time it would take him to land with his parachute. Of course don't go by that, there are so many things to take into consideration.

Ahem, sorry.. gonna take on the smartass persona here...

The average fall rate of something is 3.4 or 4.3 or something meters per second.. DEFINITELY NOT 100 feet per second... But you also have to take into consideration the air resistance of when he has the parachute open, etc... I don't know how long it'd take, but what I just wanted to point out that he wouldn't be going at 100 feet per second. :P

Hmmm..I don't think you specified a date.

Mind telling us when it's going to happen? So if you don't log in the next day I can add RIP in your sig. lol jk.

But in all seriousness, good luck and I doubt anything bad will happen. Just have a positive mindset and you'll be fine.

He will be fine.

@Aryon yes I know that. Some people do fall at 100 feet per second. But the average is 32 feet per second.

And a little something for Jacko

I thought it was pretty neat. I would do that if I had the chance.
Travis Pastrana really did jump without a parachute.

RE: 10,000 Foot Skydive
actually that guy jumped with a parachute watch the ending ( that video not Travis)

if you watch Jackass's Tribute to Evel Knievel
some guy actually jumps without a parachute and no shirt on for about a minute drop then his friend catches him and they both use his parachute


edit found it
