- Purpose of use
- Recently a 94 year old man died that had a hobby where he had progressed from sky diving to free falling from extreme heights. Before he died he had done 4 jumps out of a hot air balloon from 100,000 ft. I was wondering how long the ride was (not taking into account the parachute deployment.) Thanks for providing this!

- Purpose of use
- I fell 40 ft off the top of a quarry when I was 20 years old and was curious about the data . Fell feet first, clipped a ledge on the way down. Broke my heel bone, ankle and my foot. Spent a week in hospital. I was in bad shape.

- Purpose of use
- Joe Meanen, jumped 175 feet from a platform on Piper Alpa in 1989 it was said that his fall took 7 seconds to hit the water, this calculator says 3.3, I'm never going to reveal this as he earned his story, I if he said an angel broke his fall, I'd just agree and buy the man a pint...

- wanted to see how long it would take a 10,000 pound nuke to fall from 65,000 feet. For a thing I'm writing :)

- Purpose of use
- trying to figure out how fast a non- areodymamic box dropped in a pressurised chamber (Pressure from sea level) would fall genuinley because I'm interested. Couldn't say freom space as the stmosphere literally doesn;t extend that far. Thanks fro the help

- Purpose of use
- Saw movie with a parachutist jumping at 2,000 ft agl and wondered how long they’d fall (~15 sec, movie scene was about 60 sec from jump to chute deployment. Hollywood, sheesh.)
