Weight is irrelevant.I'd have thought a goose would be more streamlined.

Weight is not irrelevant, but negligable at the mass difference between a human and a goose.A goose would have a higher terminal velocity.

Well, I can tell you:
Glider Minimum Glide Angle
----- -----------------

no it's not!oh all right, a lower MASS
the goose would only be more streamlined if it had a completely clean coat of feathers, with none out of place, and it was falling head first with its wings and feet tucked in, and its neck straight.
i would say human terminal velocity is higher

There was a rather famous experiment on the moon,which showed that a feather and a hammer fall at the same rate without air resistance.
edit: as for the air resistance of a goose and a human, I don't really know.
