    Well sure but I don’t think a human is shaped in a way that would really affect this.

      Never seen a sky diver? Head down vs belly flop changes their speed

        Still won’t stop you from eventually reaching the same speed tho.

          …yes it will.

          Terminal velocity occurs when the forces pulling ng you and pushing back at you are in balance. The drag force is a lot higher when you’re a larger profile. The balancing will occur sooner
