I gather 'terminal velocity' does not occur at such heights.

Its good to know that the human race still has such nutters in it and 'elf n safety' never put the kybosh on his feat.

At that altitude the air density is only a fraction of what it is 100,000ft lower so the air resistance is much less therefore his terminal velocity will be higher.
