You Wake Up Inside Jupiter. What Happens Next?

You wake up and your bed is falling through Jupiter's clouds. There's no floor, no ground, and no way to land. So what actually happens to you? A real NASA probe, Galileo, made this exact fall in 1995 and kept sending messages for 58 minutes. Here's what it found on the way down, what we can only work out from physics, and why "gas giant" is a slightly misleading name. Have a guess before you watch: how far down do you think the ground is? Tell me in the comments.
