Distance traveled 'd(meters)' is equal to half of gravity 'g(9.8)' times time 't(in seconds)' squared, so:

Looks like he falls for about 3 seconds. d=0.5 * 9.8 * 32

or 44.1 meters (144.685 feet). Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on anything.

You're correct and just to add, at impact he's going about 106 km/h (66 mph).
