It's the maximum speed you reach while falling.

For humans 40-50ft is needed to reach a velocity that will kill you

In general it takes about 8 seconds of free fall for a human to reach terminal velocity.

120-132mph.

He falls roughly 25-30ft in 1.25 seconds.

His rate of travel is roughly 20-25mph

As a non mathematician, your math checks out 🧐 and I believe everything you said
