Terminal velocity changes based on the surface area of the object in question. Therefore, someone with very large surface area (Doesn't need to be 'heavy', just very wide) will have a different terminal velocity than someone with less surface area. (It is also dependant on density, I believe, and theres probably a few other things I missed out on, but eh. Thats the basics.)

weight distribution also has to do with terminal velocity, if you have a paper with a stone tied to one side of it, the paper will obviously fall faster and more upright than one without Very Happy
