Right so 300kmph = 83.3 m/s which means every 83.3 metres (call it 100) buys you an additional second of thinking time and back of the envelope calculation (2km/minute) [0] suggests you can move up to 33 metres per second horizontally (feel like this is optimistic - I openly welcome corrections here...)

In any case a fun thought experiment

There’s a joke in skydiving: “What happens if your backup parachute fails? You aim for the car of the person who packed it”
