I don't disagree with any of that, as long as you agree that he "feels" a change as soon as he steps off the platform. He feels a sudden shift from being fully weighted (at whatever G it was at 120K feet), to being weightless. That is a transition your body feels.

I originally called this feeling "falling" which is where you guys objected, because someone way up there isn't going to feel the wind or sound rushing by him. But while that is true, he is still going to feel the shift from weighted to weightless. I think all of us agree on that, but we are just arguing about which word to call it. Semantics really.
