The only possible way your idea of how the molecules within the body vs the entire unit would actually differ in free fall would be due to the molecules closer to the more dense bones slowing down with time as the molecules on your skin being faster in time since they aren't near a larger mass object. The only place with free fall capable of having that affect is if Felix jumped into a black hole. Or if he was near the speed of light.
Monkey getting shot with an arrow. Which if say the arrow came out a velocity only enough to get it 3 ft on the floor but you removed the floor for an indefinite amount, it'd eventualy reach the monkey.

Dude, who is arguing that a dart wouldn't fall at the same rate as a monkey? ALL objects will fall at the same rate, unless one of them has a surface area to mass ratio significant enough to increase drag. We already knew this.
Look, I was wrong about the bottled water example..... But the fact remains that you DO feel a fall, because there is a sudden cessation of the mechanical sensation of weight on the body. This causes a different sensation within the ligaments, tissues & organs inside the body. And that "feeling" is gonna happen regardless if you are jumping within a vacuum or a regular atmosphere. You don't need wind or eyesight to know you're failling. That was my whole disagreement with you guys.
