Your journalist needs to learn to do their job properly and research the facts e.g. on back roads story on Western Australia wheatbelt they covered a segment on the sky divers It pissed me off when she said that the sky divers reached speeds over 300km... Fact check terminal velocity of a human the speed achieved by a human body in freefall is slowed down by air resistance and body orientation. In a stable, belly-to-earth position, terminal velocity of the human body is about 200 km/h (about 120mph). A stable, freefly, head-down position produces a speed of around 240-290 km/h (around 150-180 mph). NOT OVER 300KM
