No. Masses does not affect the speed of falling objects. All stuff falls with an acceleration of 9.81m/s^2 on Earth, not taking into account air resistance. So ya...fat people don't fall faster than skinny people...

All object fall at the same speed due to gravity. Air resistance across a larger object will make a difference.

Nope. I think it was Leonardo da Vinci who proved that two objects of unequal mass still fall at the same rate (all other things being equal).

Did your school skip the part about Galileo dropping weights off the bell tower, or what?
Gravity acts equally on all masses.

I wouldn't think so. Remember the experiment Galileo did with the two different size bocce balls? He dropped them and they hit the ground at the same time.

both will fall at the same rate according to the laws of gravity.

as a former obese person I would say- not faster, just more likely to fall -period.
