What slows down a skysurfer falling?

Question

what slow's it down

Answer 1

real question is, what slows down your ability to think?

Answer 2

Drag? Maybe, but if that skysurfer is doing any manuevers, that also slows him down as well.

Answer 3

Drag.  Atmospheric friction.  The more drag, the more you slow down.  You'll go faster in a tucked position that with arms straight out.  The ultimate drag producer is, of course, a parachute.

Answer 4

the air??

Answer 5

well when he/she is going along, the thermal currents in the air are keeping him/her aloft, when falling: the drag, or friction, from their suit/ parachute is slowing them down. The different positions they take form into affect the speed at which they fall (how streamlined they are)
