That's a long fall, 3/4 of a minute if I'm not mistaken.
120 miles per hour is terminal velocity of a falling human being.
120/60 = 2 miles per minute
Skydive fall from 15K feet is over a minute free fall.
Repeatedly bouncing off the edges would probably slow the fall, and make it significantly more painful. That is, if the hole were wide enough to fit you.
