As for jumping off a building or running down an almost-vertical surface, I don't like how the word 'terminal' velocity sounds.
<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Actually the 'terminal velocity' is not a problem - at least until you reach bottom! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

BTW does anyone know if there IS a terminal velocity in AIRLESS conditions?

Terminal velocity only operates in atmospheres. Or so is my understanding of it.

As for maximum running speed. You might find this interesting.
