    Yeah, no. I'm gonna say serious injury, if not death, is inevitable with a square hit at terminal velocity (of a human of x weight with maximum surface area relative to direction of travel).

    Call it a hunch.

    Well, that's why you have to make him super human. How much would his muscular strength have to increase to keep from crumbling to the ground as his legs try to break the fall? How dense/strong would his bones have to be to not snap under such force? Apparently since some people have survived, maybe organs would do fine as is.

    I calculate his muscular strength would have to be at least 68, and his bone strength would need to be 675.4.

    I have no idea what units I'm using though.
