Theoretical calculations, confirmed by experimental measurements, are used to obtain a new scaling for electron loss from a hydrogen atom in collision with a heavy, highly stripped ion. The calculations cover the energy range 50 to 5000 keV/amu and charge states q from 1 to 50. The experiments are in the range 108 to 1140 keV/amu and charge states 3 to 22. A simple analytic expression that describes the electron-loss cross section for 1 < or = q < or = 50 in the energy range 50 to 5000 keV/amu is presented.
