He wunt be going that quick.
Terminal velocity of a human body is more like 120-ish mph, depending on how the body is orientated.
rec.skydiving: "However, by diving or "standing up"in free fall, any experienced skydiver can learn to reach speeds of over 160-180MPH. Speeds of over 200MPH require significant practice to achieve. The record free fall speed, done without any special equipment, is 321MPH. Obviously, it is desirable to slow back down to 110MPH before parachute opening."
