How about the rate of acceleration? Might that be faster on the moon with no atmospheric resistance?


Over large distances, sure. Not for the ones you would consider "hurting yourself" distance. The wind resistance to weight ratio of an average human is so small that it has a negligible at best effect over distances of a couple dozen feet or so. It's like dropping a bowling ball in a vacuum and dropping a bowling ball in open air. You're not gonna see any noticeable difference in landing time until you're basically dropping from the top of a skyscraper.


Ahh, interesting
