How fast does a skydiver fall to earth?
A stable belly-to-earth body position will usually result in a ‘terminal velocity’ (this being the fastest speed you’ll reach during freefall) of 120mph or 200kph. A stable head down position (falling upside with your head toward the ground and legs up) gets around 150-180mph (240-290kph).
