“200 feet is a long way to contemplate your fate.”I do not know how fast the human brian "contemplates"...but a drop of 20 feet (@ 32 ft/sec/sec) would take less than .55 of a second.
Truly not a long time to contemplate much of anything.

Truly not a long time to contemplate much of anything. I used to do some cliff and bridge diving from 45 to 60 ft above the water surface. There is plenty of time to contemplate how stupid you are.
