The terminal velocity of 120mph is the average when in the skydiving position (i.e. horizontal with arms & legs stretched out) that speed can easily be doubled by legs together & arms down your sides and diving head first as there's much less of a surface area to be caught by wind resistance. But, this isnt anywhere near what this guy wants to achieve, and as i said before, he would have to slow himself back down considerably before it would be safe to open a parachute without harming himself! The idiots just gonna kill himself!!!
