Like these?

190 feet descent over 5 seconds? sounds like the "parachute overcoat" was working just fine...

I have just one word for this... HARDCORE!!!

With the suit (assuming the suit had constant acceleration without reaching terminal velocity) a person would be traveling approximately 52mph upon impact at 190 feet (given it did take 5 seconds).

Without the suit a person would be traveling approximately 75mph upon impact at 190 feet (it would take 3.5 seconds).

The suit did not work that well.
