Terminal velocity
Would not our terminal velocity drop to near nothing as the gravitational force decreases and the air density increases? We'd float gently down to meet the goat in the center, our oscillations damped to insignificance.
I couldn't begin to figure out what the density of 6.4 [6] meters depth of air would be in a constant G field yet alone a declining one.

17 But of the ponderosa pine, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt sorely learn of thy nakedness.
18 And we all live happily ever after.

Two guys were hiking in Antarctica when they came across an old mine shaft going straight down into the ground.
