He will.

Lets see, GPE = KE assuming no air resistance.

Therefore, 1/2(mv^2) = mgh

Therefore, 1/2(v^2) = gh

Therefore, v^2 = 2x9.8x(3x20)

Therefore, v^2 = 1176

Therefore he will hit the ground at roughly 34.3m/s




My excuse for that is that maths infects you over time.

You may also need new intestines and a new stomach - the fall will have driven your leg bones up into your torso.

No - I adjusted the horizontal velocity it started with so it will land on top of where you are going to be.
