things accelerate up to a maximum fally down speed, only thing that will prevent this is the air resistance the object or person provides ie parachute or feather. i think - doh now i'm regretting not listening

where's jose??

God hate to say this but the turncoat scummer is correct. terminal velocity [or fally down speed as al puts it:rolleyes: ] is dependent on air resistance and due to the thickness of the air the altitude above sea level. The weight of an object only effects the speed at which the object accelerates, but escentionly all objects in perfect lab conditions will accelerate until they reach the same velocity.
And did you know that the world record for sky diving was 18 1/2 miles and the bloke reached a speed of 614 miles an hour, each second of freefall he was droping was 22 miles an hour faster then the previous second. Thats 9/10ths the speed of sound now thats scarey
