Follow up to plane on a treadmill - Say a plane is falling at it's terminal velocity

[and you jump out at the last second before it hits the ground. Do you survive all the snake bites?]

This reminds me of a show I saw this weekend about military HALO jumpers.

Dudes were leaning how to jump out of the plane and 'fly' in tight groups. Then they learned how to do it at night. Efff that!!!! You can't see the ground so you land pretty hard.

One of the instructors died during the filming.

You'd think he would have seen it coming in time to dodge it.

If you jump with rocket boots you do. Bonus, it fries all the snakes too.

Wouldn't the snakes have already bitten you while the plane is falling? So the only chance you have of surviving is if you put on the Chipotle burrito of freedom for a triple word score of e=mc^2 for the word "xylphonicmaphobiatarianism".

You = Not gay
Snakes = Gay
Jeremy = SUPER GHEEEYYYYY!!!
