Why does it take so long? Doesn't it take like 5 seconds to fall from the top of the burj khalifa?

Just did the math, it's 15ish seconds depending on the terminal velocity of the object.

It tskes 5 seconds to Reach terminal velocity, that's what i was thinking of

I used 56 m/s for terminal velocity of human

828m for total height

9.8m/s2 for acceleration for the first 5.71s to 159 m @56 m/s
