[TowerTalk] This just about freaked me out

[Gene Smar]

Do the math:  If she were to fall off, it would take the model/skydiver 
instructor over 13 seconds to "reach" the ground.  I say "over 13 
seconds" because she'd reach terminal velocity after falling for 12 
seconds or about 1500 feet.   So that final 1200+ feet would be at a 
constant velocity of about 120 MPH.  Ouch!
