I went on Saturday for the first time and it was pretty fun. We jumped off some like 25 ft cliffs a bunch and I did some flips and junk off a like 7 ft one. Then I decided to try to jump from the highest part, it was i think like 45ft high, I got like 4 seconds hang time when I jumped off. Well anyways I guess my teeth weren't all the way together or something because when I hit the water off the highest part it made my teeth slam together and it sorta hurt but I didn't really make anything out of it, I was fine. But when I got home and ate something it kinda hurt, and I looked, it turns out I chipped/cracked it, oh well. It was really fun, I want to go again.

yes, but friction from air resitance is not gointo effect it that much to make more than a fration of a second diference give the short duration of the event. now over a 10,000' freefall it can add a significant couple of seconds.

actually, the human body has a terminal velocity of about 120 mph (200 kph) which is reached in about 6 seconds of free fall

bridge jumping and cliff jumping is what i do most of the summer. there are a few real cool places arroung here but nothing too big. the biggest is about 55 or 60 and its a bridge so cops come often. the second time i was jumping off the arch of the bridge a dep cop came and flipped on me it was great

Jamie was a bit more than 4 sec, cuz the first 15 metres he held a mute grab and after the mute he was 4 sec in the air.
