I released a spider today and after launching it from about six feet up, which was about 72 times its height, I started to wonder about this.
EDIT: Took out a typo. I didn’t think anybody would care or notice but you know, Reddit.

I have an additional question on this topic:
What would happen if you dropped an insect from a great height, but in a total vaccuum, like those huge vaccuum hangars for space research?
Ignoring the pressure effects on the insect’s physiology, the fall would kill it, as its terminal veloocity is now infinite, right?
