Could they? Yes.
Will they? The odds are against them.
There are skydivers who have survived failing chutes, but that's considered a goddamn miracle when it happens.

Is your terminal velocity superior to mach 1 ? You've got yourself an answer.

>>8039691
Well, were talking about a theoretical human being whose body is durable enough to survive being slammed into concrete at mach 1 from about 10 feet with almost no damage. A human can't reach that kind of terminal velocity. So does this mean you could drop them from 10 miles and they'd be ok?

>>8039691
terminal velocity isn't the speed they die at, it's the falling speed past which they can't accelerate because of, like, air resistance and shit.

>>8039700
I know. Can a human, lets say, a 400 pound one, achieve mach 1+ speed in a free fall? I think not.

>>8039683
Probably. Terminal velocity in meters per second = sqrt((9.8*massinkg)/0.25). So in order to go mach 1, which is 340.29 m/s in air, you'd have to weight 2954 kg, which is about 6600 lbs.

don't worry we're getting there

what about the de-acceleration? you'll turn your brain into vegemite

fat people generally also have a large surface area. They won't fall significantly faster than a skinny person.

tterminal velocity is 120 to 200 mph
mach 1 is about 740 mph
so if u could survive 740 mph into concrete than falling onto the earth at 120-200 mph would be no issue,
