Airborne soldiers routinely jump out of the side doors of jets. But there is a wind deflector that goes out in front of the door to deflect the wind. Otherwise it would be next to impossible to clear the door without getting all banged up. It's great fun to fall below the deflector and enter the prop blast. But I doubt if most of these jets are going over 200 mph. We used to jump c-141's a lot. In fact I made my first jump out of one. I've heard C-5A's and other jets are jumped by para-troops today.....Steve1

And by "prop blast" do you of course mean "jet blast"?

Back in 1991, SEAL Team 6 practiced high speed exits to see what exit speeds were possible. Their findings were anything over 220 is extremely dangerous. As far as what would be the fastest speeds? I personally have jumped at 280 mph. I know a teammate that jumped at 320. These speeds would be the absolute max exit speed I feel you could do. I can attest that it is extremely painful.

This was out of a USAF MC-130P back in July of '97 near Cambodia.
Why? Loooooong story.

Lots of skydivers jumped the 727 at the WFFC with a 220 mph jump run at 13k. No reported serious injuries due to the exit speeds accourding to all the data I've been able to find.

Wow, old thread back to life.
My 2 cents? Wind resistance causes the G loads on your body, and goes up as the square of the indicated air speed. If your normal freefall speed is 110 mph, exiting at 220 mph indicated airspeed would give you a 4 G load on your body. If you go out tucked in a ball, like Billvon spoke of, your normal freefall speed is much higher, and you would feel less of a G load. Seems to be the best strategy if you ever have to leave a plane going really fast. Being in a ball also means you'll not blow as far back before falling below the plane, Much less likely to hit something on the plane.

Heres an interesting article about the 1st Human Supersonic Ejection test, from 22,000 at 338 knots on 06 June 1961.

At 400+ you would break bones, rip equipment, etc...
As far as height, my max jump was 38,000 feet.
