apparently sir, you do not understand why people experience weightlessness. Being in space does not make you weightless, being in a decaying orbit makes you experience weightlessness, also being at terminal velocity makes you experience weightlessness. If he survives the threshold to terminal velocity (IE crossing the sound barrier) he will be weightless.
