While I was in the Army, I asked several paratroopers what terminal velocity of a human being in free-fall is. None of them knew and they all looked at me like I was retarded for even asking. A friend of mine who was in the University of Florida Aerospace program many years ago told me that it's about 110 mph for an average size man.

I've also wondered how much a person could steer himself with his body. For example, let's say you just happen to fall out of an airplane and you're in your three piece suit. You see a lake about a quarter mile away and your altitude is around 2 miles or so. Would it be possible to steer yourself to the lake and possibly dive in and survive? I would think that the cliff divers come close to terminal velocity, so assuming you could make it to the lake a person could theoretically survive, right?
