I wanna go in there with a jacket, stick my hands in my pockets, and actually try to fly like I did in kindergarten by just spreading my jacket out like wings.

In addition to that, ...imagine that twice the wind speed results in four times the energy.

The biggest wind tunnel.....IN THE WORLDD

[@KevinLuWX]

This highlights people's incorrect perception of wind speed. A person can only stand up in 80 mph winds if their shoe grip is good. 70 mph is the absolute maximum for most
