Terminal velocity is about 56m/s
Depending on a few things it probably takes around 5.5 seconds to reach that speed, and 160 metres to get pretty close to terminal velocity.
He fell 107 m which would be going pretttyyy damn fast anyways

2 differnt cliff drops, one was a plum drop by Pierre, and that Norweigen SENT IT off that 300 footer, super lucky to be alive, if the snow was any different or any number of factors could have ended his life…..

Pierre's attempt was planned so I give him major credit to have the balls to huck something that big on purpose, granted he landed directly on his head. Fred's world record was unplanned, so his drop took no where near as much balls as Pierre's. But overall Fred's was far better. He landed on his back, not his head and he held a solid position the entire time in the air.

fuck lmm

I like how he casually dropped the "I'm famous" bomb.
LMM, if I ever see you at Whistler, make sure Schne is close by to take a picture of me punching you in the balls.

i dont post anymore unless its a lmm thread

i think it took fred a fair bit of balls to realize charging the drop was better than trying to stop. he looked pretty composed as he sent it off a 300+ ft cliff, haha

lol so that means then that if you do a drop bigger than 160 meters then you could huck a 300meter cliff (if there was such thing) and you wouldnt die! you would be invincible :lol: I"m just joking by the way dont try it at home
