Agreed. I seriously hate stupid people.The comments on that video confirm one's deepest fears about human stupidity.
Wow, i didn't expect such a stretched-out atmosphere. 1200 km between what would be about 100 km on Earth and one atm level?
...I should probably fire up Orbiter and see what we have there...
The max pull in any one direction (like down) assuming the surface is marked at the 1 bar altitude is around 10.4m/s.

Despite being much more massive than the Earth, Saturn's mass is spread out. It tugs at you from all sides. The gravity is distributed in all directions, so to speak. With Earth, all the mass is more concentrated and most of it pulls you in he vertical direction.

Thank you.
How can 10.4 m/s be calculated? You really mean "m/s" (a velocity) or do you mean m/s/s (an acceleration)?

The Cassini satellite has almost run out of fuel.
Its final mission, on 15 September, is to dive into the planet's thick atmosphere, where it will meet a fiery end.
An encounter with the moon Titan has nudged Cassini's trajectory on to a collision course with Saturn. Nasa has called this manoeuvre a “goodbye kiss”.
For 13 years, the orbiter has been sending back to Earth images of its extraordinary discoveries at Saturn.
It has documented the possible birth of a moon, tasted an extra-terrestrial ocean and watched as a giant storm encircled the entire planet.
