Default Re: No parachute skydiving prop bet?

Air resistance is a function of air density, velocity, and surface area. So it really depends on how the people are falling, but if it's two guys grabbing each other like a tandem jump without a harness, it's doubtful that the reference surface area will be double that of a single person. Two guys next to each other are slightly harder, there's probably some interference between the two so there's less drag, like how a biplane does not equal two seperate wings, but it would be closer to two people. Damn, this is way too serious for BBV.
