From what height does one have to fall to reach terminal velocity? I don't think it's anywhere near airplane height.

I don't know if anyone's ever done it on purpose, but I HAVE heard of instances where people have had parachute malfunctions and survived. I searched for articles or something to link to but haven't found anything. Maybe someone else can find something.

I don't have a link but I remember seeing footage on REAL TV of such an incident. The jumper whose chute failed was wearing a helmet cam and there was also a 2nd jumper with a camera. Very intense stuff.

This guy isn't just jumping, he has an aparatus to control his decent, he's just not using a parachute per se.
