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?]

Car Info: This aint a bag. It's a shipment.
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.
