hm, looks to me like he's still accelerating down at the rate of roughly 9.8m/s^2 :confused:

Uh, the rate of acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s^2. That doesnt mean he has a constant velocity of 9.8m/s.

So you're telling me when you fall, you fall at a constant speed? Man, that goes against everything I learned about gravity.
