[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 3347, member: 12"] S1 Do not lay it on too thick now. Eagle nylon is great gear! Have quite a bit myself. Terminal velocity is 120 mph. You can reach speeds of 200 mph but not in a stable position and average jumper cannot do it, much less with equipment. Got to stand on your head or delta. No one jumps above 40,000 feet. Pressure suit needed. US held the military record until mid 70s then Soviets took it. We were going to break it but cost too much to get pressure suits and all training needed to go to the mid 40K range jumping and not useful anyway. Max HALO and HAHO jumps are around 30,000, no need to go higher. Velocity is only accelerated little over 120mph at 30K in stable position. BH "Master Halo Wings and HALO Instructor" [/QUOTE]
