As for jumping off a building or running down an almost-vertical surface, I don't like how the word 'terminal' velocity sounds.

Actually the 'terminal velocity' is not a problem - at least until you reach bottom! 
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.
