Question
Yes. Think of a bullet fired out of a gun. It travels much faster than the terminal velocity it would achieve falling under the acceleration of gravity alone.

K. Can someone fall faster then their terminal velocity without some outside influance?
No. "As the object accelerates.. the drag force acting on the object increases. At a particular speed, the drag force produced will equal the object's weight... Eventually, it plummets at a constant speed called terminal velocity" - wiki
