Masterpiece:
There's no wind resistance in a vacuum...

HiFranc:
I never said there was.

Carl-E:
Acceleration to terminal velocity is a "decaying" (negative-powered) exponential.  You will approach terminal velocity fairly quickly at first, close to the linear velocity increase in a vacuum; the increase in velocity slows as you approach the terminal velocity.  It's actually a limit.  However, it will take more than one or two hundred feet to get close. 

Nevertheless, she'll be traveling at a good clip when she hits... if she hits.  I don't see much of an alternative, though. 

Loki:
Well, flying is easy - you just have to forget to hit the ground.

jwhouk:
I thought it was the art of "missing the ground".
