I am not a skydiver although I plan to make it part of my schooling for my private pilot’s licence. Therefore, today I am hoping for some info from the insiders for a book that I am writing.

During freefall is it true that the noise of the air rushing past is considerable?

On a skydiver website the answer to the question what one should wear for a jump was short trousers and t-shirt on a warm summer’s day. At 3500ft air temperature in most temperate places around the world should be about 0 deg C / 32 deg F. That would make the suggested clothing a rather frosty choice, especially when adding the chill factor of the wind. How cold is it really for a skydiver?

This one might be a bit of a gruesome one for some people but I am trying to stay as close as possible to the physical reality. If a person fell out of a plane at about 3000ft without a parachute he or she should reach a hefty 125 mph. Does anyone know whether the body would leave an impact indentation in medium soft ground under those conditions (a paddock, for example)?
I am grateful for any information or pointers to other sources.
