Yes, although with his shoot deployed, he's probably traveling fairly
slowly with respect to terminal velocity.

I'd put the terminal velocity for a stone of that apparent size between 50

end given the tumbling).
The sky divers are falling, so the relative speed between them and the
rock would be even less than the rock's terminal velocity.
Michael in so. Cal.
