It took several seconds to drop that last 15 meters, I'm only guessing, but I'd say about 3 seconds. That would equate to about 5 meters per second or a mere 10 miles per hour. Personally I think that qualifies as a soft landing, and if you know anyone who used to be a paratrooper he'd more than likely agree with me :-)
