      It wouldn't actually be that dramatic. The wind would die down slowly; it wouldn't be like someone puling the rug out from underneath you.

      To be fair-skydiving doesn’t give you the feeling you’re falling either. The only difference is that you don’t get the spectacular views in a tunnel as you do at 18k feet 😂
