Re: 15,000 feet-per-minute

Hang on - 4400 feet was the total vertical distance travelled in 33 seconds - bearing in mind the dive started at zero vertical speed, and ended at zero vertical speed, then it is quite feasible he reached a peak descent of 15,000 per minute.

Presumably those figures were retrieved from the data loggers.
