Jcl , I don`t think the parking sensors wiil help but maybe the adaptive cruise control thingy might help if it could deploy the airbags in time.
terminal velocity for a freefalling skydiver in stable body position (horizontal to earth ) is 120 mph , the figure 174 ft per second per second comes to mind . depending on the altitude you begin the freefall , you could possible accelerate ad infinitum . a bloke managed to exceed mach 1 falling from a balloon at 120000 ft .is that a rush or what . I managed to achieve about 280 mph head down from 10000ft before it was time to slow down but I messed up as it is not easy to slow at that speed due to the air pressure , I had to deploy the canopy at 2500 ft whist travelling at 200mph , this was very painful , I still remember the sound of bones compressing . the harness left serious bruising to my torso . I wish I could remember how to explain this stuff in the way it was explained to me by the genius Skygods I learned from . |

Ummmmmmm........ wow.
Ever wonder, in retrospect, whether posting a certain way lacked a certain degree of sagacity, LOL Seem like I have unleashed a beast. Need to brush up on my physics. My head hurts An intereseting, read, nonetheless, and apologies to the OP, for making this thread follow a tangential path.....

Won't happen unless you are free falling in a perfect vacuum. With freefall through the air you will reach a terminal velocity which is dependent on the density of air, the aerodynamic drag on the skydiver and the weight of the skydiver.

I just read your wikipedia link , it says a heavier object will have a greater terminal velocity so TT Bear is correct .
there is a link there about the freefall speed record and as far as I am aware the info is wrong . I`m sure mach 1 was exceeded years ago . |

That is true provided everything else (ie aero drag and the density of the medium through which the object is falling) is equal.
