Yes, if the falling object changes its aerodynamic profile, it can reduce or increase drag. Drag causes the terminal velocity to decrease.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

Terminal velocity is determined by several factors including an object's shape, size, and weight, as well as external forces like air resistance. Terminal velocity can be altered by changing these factors, such as by increasing or decreasing an object's weight or by adjusting its shape to reduce air resistance.
