Terminal velocity is when air resistance balances out with gravity. For humans it's usually around 2000 ft of falling, gravity accelerates the person towards the ground at about 9.8m/s, as said person speeds up, air resistance increases and it becomes harder to accelerate. Terminal velocity is the point at which one may no longer accelerate. To control it: more air resistance = slower descent (terminal velocity comes sooner and is not as fast (i.e.parachutes), less air resistance = faster descent, it may take longer to reach terminal velocity as it is a much higher speed.

Nothing "happens". This occurs all the time.

It decreases the terminal velocity of the parachutist.
Roughly 120 mph flat and stable. Head-down is much faster, but is not stable (it takes active control). Terminal velocity is when the gravity force upon an object is equal to that of the wind resistance.
In that case, the object is said to have achieved terminal speed.
terminal velocity
We will reach terminal velocity just before we hit the ground, then the result of our velocity will be terminal.
Passing the terminal velocity is clearly not possible, otherwise it could not be called the terminal velocity!
