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.

He's really going to have several really weird feeling transitions. He's going to have a quick transitional period between the initial drop part and weightlessness.
Then he is going to go through that weird part of is he falling. Next was probably "OMFG I am spinning". Then he hits the air friction and its like stomping on the brakes really fin hard. Then he probably just has a normal parachute jump type feel.
