Skydivers in different freefall orientations fall at different speeds:

  • Wingsuiting - 25 to 60mph
  • Belly to earth - typical for formation skydiving - 120mph
  • Freefly headup and headdown - 150 to 190mph
  • Speed skydiving - 200 to 327mph

For each of these disciplines, experience, jumpsuit worn, weight & height all make subtle differences to exact freefall speeds. During any typical skydive, speeds vary a lot.
