google suggests human terminal velocity will happen after about 1500 feet of freefall. So not much difference in 25,000 than 1,500 other than it sounds cooler. Probably didn't want to go above 25k due to supplemental oxygen needs, or maybe he's planning to dump it on the way down?
122mph is approx human terminal velocity it says.
