THis is the trick of physics...its is asking which would hit first, the feather or the bowling ball...here is the equation...

Assuming that everyone is their ideal weight, I would say the elf would hit first while the hobbit would pull out the paracute and the dwarf would have not jump, he would in his little workshed doing what he does best.

In all fairness to physics, they would hit at once.
