Well, that all depends if the person jumping/falling is Chuck Norris or not.

Well, the good news is, that if Chuck Norris ever falls to earth at a terminal velocity the destruction Earth will be so quick that we won't even notice it.

You are asking the wrong question. It is not a question of how fast Chuck Norris has to fall to shatter the earth, its a question of when does Chuck Norris decide to shatter the earth. And he doesn't have to be moving at all.

One of the instructors died during the filming.

I remember my first night jump... the ground sneaks up on you VERY fast. It's weird... one second the ground looks hundreds of meters away then all of the sudden BAM! Ouch. Those chutes get you to the ground a LOT faster than their civilian counterparts.

Heh, yeah your typical mountain dew drinking extreme parachute guys aren't usually getting shot at by little brown people during their descent

What about if you grabbed the snakes and tried to use them as a parachute??


Also, say T-Will mom is on the plane, if I throw her out first and have the plane land on her, I might be able to save the entire plane
