The penny episode of Mythbusters was pretty good. Adam went skydiving for the first time and they build penny firing guns out of staple guns. Jamie shot Adam in the butt
A penny’s terminal velocity is between 35 and 65mph.

Bryan, you don’t have to try out that myth, because Chris already has. They don’t always land on their feet, just ask Chris, he has demonstrated it more than once with Smokey.
