    Holy buckets. The guy on mythbusters was falling at 250 mph.

      How was he falling that fast? The terminal velocity of a human body is considerably lower.....

            What did they do aerodynamically to achieve that speed?

                Terminal velocity spread eagle is about 120

                In a dive it's much much faster....I think you can get around 2220mph in a dive without any special equipment. Also, the higher the altitude the faster you can go.

                  Holy shit, that's some insane speeds

                  Yes, the higher you are, the faster you can go. Less air resistance

                          I watched that episode, and I thought it was 200. Maybe I was mistaken.

                            More info on that jump


                            I remember hearing an interview with him where he said at that height there was no wind at all, and for a while it didn't even feel like he was moving, just floating since he was so far from everything and there wasn't much atmosphere to give him a physical sensation of falling.
