aerodynamics come into play as well. You'll have a much slower terminal velocity face down arms spread then diving straight down.

From the wiki... This is why objects with a large projected area relative to mass, such as parachutes, have a lower terminal velocity than objects with a small projected area relative to mass, such as bullets.

Could he go THAT fast i dunno, but I'm sure he was hauling ass either way lol
