It depends. Surface Friction could vary. If a person was in the traditional parachute jumper freefall, it is slower and would never meet the terminal velocity of an individual falling through the air whereby his body is vertical.
Statistics show
that a human falling through the air can reach up to speeds of 210mph (93metres per second) at the most.

How hot is humans blood?
the boiling point for human blood is 256.2 degrees Fahrenheit
Can a glass bottle pierce through a human skull?
Given enough relative velocity, almost anything can. That said, you're talking about a huge amount of velocity. More likely is blunt force trauma.
What is the second most important part of the human body?
the rectun!
Second strongest bone in human body?
The ribobone
How long an image persist on retina of human eye?

What is the terminal velocity of a cream pie thrown by a human?
If it finds its mark, the terminal velocity is zero.
How fast can a man fall to earth from airplane?
The fastest rate a human can fall is called terminal velocity. Terminal velocity is when the gravity force upon an object is equal to that of the wind resistance. The normal terminal velocity of a human is around 125 miles per hour.
How many meters per second do humans fall at?
The rate at which they fall increases due to gravitational acceleration. Air resistance acts against gravitational acceleration. The two are in balance at the terminal velocity. For a human falling in a stable belly-down position, and at "normal" skydiving altitudes, the terminal velocity is approx 56 metres per second. However, in 2012, Felix Baumgartner jumped from a height of over 39000 metres and, in his fall, reached a peak speed of 373 metres per second.
What is speed of terminal velocity?
For the Human Body, 124 mph (200 KPH).
What is the terminal velocity of a human?
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.
What Happens when a human reaches terminal velocity and lets say grabs a rope or ladder or ledge?
That will slow the human down.
How fast do human fall from planes?
Terminal velocity (top speed) for a human falling through the air is about 120mph. Even though gravity attempts to continuously increase velocity at a rate of 30 ft/sec for every second of fall, increasing air density prevents the increase.
Examples of terminal velocity application to human.?
Sky diving, because sky divers are able to control their descent.
Will an object dropped on the moon reach a terminal velocity?
That varies, depending on the object. A massive object may take a long time to reach terminal velocity; a less massive object will reach terminal velocity faster. It basically depends on the object's mass, size, and shape.
Rate of speed at which a human falls from the sky?
The initial acceleration will be about 9.8 meters per second squared (m/s2) and the acceleration gradually drops to zero due to air resistance. The terminal velocity varies greatly for a person curled up into a ball and a person with a parachute.
How far up in the air do you have to be in order to fall for an hour?
It will be somewherebelow 160 km from earth surface since average human terminal velocity is 160 km/hr. More detail calculation would be needed since at that height, gravity would reduce by 0.4 m/s2 and air is so thin that it had little friction and terminal velocity might be very high at that height.
How do ants survive a huge fall what technology do they have that humans do not?
Ants have a couple of things going for them, but mainly physics of airflow. In essence the terminal velocity of an ant in air is much slower than that of a human. Terminal velocity is the speed and which air resistance forces counter balance gravity and you do not accelerate (go any faster) anymore while falling. The terminal velocity of an ant is about 4 mph whereas a human is well over 100 mph. So an ant has much less of an impact speed when it hits the ground. The other thing (although minor after impact speed) that helps is an ant body is more deformable than a humans and able to absorb shock better.
