... depends on your clothing and your body's position ... if you know how to do a head first drop dive and are wearing the right type of clothing, you could reach a free fall speed of over 500 kilometers per hour ... if you fall with your body, arms, & legs spread out in an air braking position, your speed will be much lower, around 190 km/h.
