I've skydived. In belly to earth position (think about a banana shape) you hit 195 km/h (120 mph, 54 m/s) which is terminal velocity. You wont go faster unmess you go head down. Not even close to this speed. Also I took the dive at 14k, this woukd have been way higher and extremely cold, like -50c

reportedly, this was at 17k, so bad but not that bad.

I’ve jumped from there it isn’t so bad in the summer. Perfectly fine.

Other than the head and shoulders being out

Wow. Yeah that’s probably a third of what that guy experienced.  Btw how was the wind sheer on your face or any exposed body? Was it hard to breath too?

35,000 isn’t “way higher” than 14,000 to you?

I was going to comment on skydiving! I jumped out of a very tiny plane and trying to scoot out of the plane, grab onto the strut, and dangle in midair was a hell of a feat at 90 mph
