White Rabbit Project • S01E10 • 2016

Speed skydiving has a lot in common
with speed skiing. Gravity is the engine,
wind resistance, the enemy. Specialized equipment and an aerodynamic body position
reduce drag. Like speed skiing, there are rules. This track is one kilometer long,
but the starting line is 4,000 meters up. The clock starts
when Kyle hits 2,700 meters. Right now, it's go time. Both tech teams have fitted the athletes
with accelerometers... It'll be
about two minutes. Is that okay? and are ready to record
their top speeds and peak acceleration
