I'm going skydiving!

[Bisjac]

wouldn't it be safer to go for some tall grass? would smash every bone in your body but you can still survive if you land right.
water can be just as hard an impact at them speeds and do nearly the same thing, cept then your drowning and likely unconscious.

And be torn apart buy a giant squid.

They are too expensive.

It'll be a tandem jump from 13,500 feet. $170 if I remember correctly.

13k? What kind of crack is the company on?
There's little to no oxygen above 10,000. Even a little Cessna prop can't fly that high without having severe difficulty.

...in about two weeks. It'll be a tandem jump from 13,500 feet. $170 if I remember correctly.

Share your stories here in the meantime.

Relativity mann...

Your parachute does not open and you keep falling at dangerously high speed, but you land in the ocean some how and survive long enough to swim to dry land safely.

And be torn apart buy a giant squid.

What about landing in some farm feilds only to find that they are harvesting the crops :D

It probably won't be long until he is under 10,000 feet high...

Also bones, what's the occasion?

[qevil]

dont forget to scream like a little girl.

After about 10 meters you can't hear stuff.

Using my horrible math/physics skills(as I haven't taken physics yet), it would take about 20 seconds to fall 3500 feet. This is assuming that after 6 seconds, he'll maintain a velocity of 58.8m/s. But don't take my word for granted, I did some stuffty math, as in I don't have all the variables or whatever so forget it.

....durr,
rate of acceleration due to gravity=9.8 m/s/s
therefore, every second you are falling, you are traveling 9.8 meters per second faster
meaning then....

20.0
x9.8
196 m/s

now thats damn fast.

But he said that you reach terminal velocity in about 6 seconds.

[pocketrocket300]

terminal velocity meaning?

"Based on wind resistance, for example, the terminal velocity of a skydiver in a free-fall position with a semi-closed parachute is about 195 km/h (120 mph or 55 m/s)"

thanks wikipedia

But yes, good luck bones.

[pocketrocket300]

terminal velocity can mean a lot of different things...
nvm, thank god wikipedia
notice i did not take wind resistance into account
