Ummm. It says "without being paused yourself". I assume this means your cells, too. ;-) You would, however, be breathless, blind, deaf, and barely able to struggle futilely against the frozen molecules around you. Not much advantage to this power, it seems.

Now, what if your power was limited to time-freezing living beings, and/or selected objects? You would have freedom of movement, then. Perhaps you could time-freeze an airplane(the outer part, except the door) while a rescue team goes to assist them. Then, when all have disembarked, and the rescue crew have left, you can let the airplane fall the rest of the way.
