12-25 seconds is what it takes to reach terminal velocity. 1500 feet/450 meters is a conservative data point.

80-ish feet from this isn't approaching terminal velocity.

Okay but he was exaggerating. And also you're always APPROACHING terminal velocity. Just at different speeds.

Just like my weekly jogs are approaching the speed of light.
