This has been on my mind for some time but I couldn't think of a good cover story so I put off asking.  There is none, I am not writing a James Bond novel &c. I just have a morbid imagination and need help with the maths. 

So if a person, A, (James Bond, Chumpington Bleakly, whoever) were to make a parachute jump from an aeroplane with a noose around his neck connected to B, (an anvil) which is also pushed from said aeroplane I'm thinking that (forgive my limited understanding of things if this is wrong) B's terminal velocity is going to be greater than A's and a force will be exerted on A's neck.  Would the force be great enough to invertihang A before the descent is complete without recourse to the parachute?
