 FACT: When Darius jumps from the presidential bullet train on the  bridge, he is in free fall for 41 seconds before hitting the water  below. The bridge looks to be only a couple of hundred feet high. In  reality, a human body in free fall would fall approximately 6000  feet in 41 seconds, assuming a stable skydivers body position. The  distance fallen would be greater if falling in any other body  position.
