Uh, that's acceleration due to gravity. We went 200km/h (for you Americans, that's 120mph)

No but you would of started at 0 though since you, I assume, jumped, and then accelerated by gravity in the free-fall @ 9.81 to the peak speed. 200km/h though, damn thats fast.

But I don't fall *at* 9.81m/s^2. It's simply a measure of how fast velocity is increasing -- that is not the same as the speed I'm free falling at.

OH wow, that must have been so fun! It also must have run you a couple hundred dollars LOL! I've looked into going and I saw that one in Barrie (I think) charges like 500 just for the jump, and then an additional 100 dollars for the movie! And then photos are also extra, of course... :|... but grats man on breaking the sky drive virginity... I hope to do so soon as well :)
