Skydivers in different freefall orientations fall at different speeds:
- Wingsuiting - 25 to 60mph
- Belly to earth - typical for formation skydiving - 120mph
- Freefly headup and headdown - 150 to 190mph
- Speed skydiving - 200 to 327mph
For each of these disciplines, experience, jumpsuit worn, weight & height all make subtle differences to exact freefall speeds. During any typical skydive, speeds vary a lot.

∙ 14y agoWhen skydivers jump out of an airplane they drop towards the ground at about 120 MPH. Opening a parachute slows the skydiver down to 12 MPH. That's still a lot faster than you can run!

How do you speed up the rate at witch you fall when you are skydiving?
To increase the speed at which you fall during a skydiving, you should arch your body. This imitates the position of Steve Urkel, with his hips farther forward than the rest of his body. To arch and increase the rate at which you are falling, push your hips farther forward into your arch.
Would you go skydiving Why or why not?
If I were you, I probably wouldn't go skydiving only because it is a bit unsafe. Maybe your parachute will fall off you while you are jumping if all of your safety straps are not put together properly. Or maybe you could fall before you jump. It's very dangerous so I wouldn't do it if I were you!
