So, you find yourself falling from aircraft but you forgot the parachute

All great in theory. But it gives you a real apreciation for snow :yes:

*note to self: right all that down and keep it for the next time I'm on a plane*

 

I guess snow isn't so bad after all

hahahaha

 

Well it has happened.....

 

It'd have to be a deep snow to help at all. You'd probably be better off hitting the slope of a mountain and sliding down as if you were skiing, what I remember from physics class, the angle, duration of impact and surface area all affect the force so if you keep some vertical velocity going down the slope of a hill it's less force. And then the friction slows you down more steadily than a flat head on impact. You would be in really bad shape if you managed to survive a fall like that, ie both arms and legs broken, probably your back, all your ribs and plenty of internal bleeding.

 

Not something I'd want to test out.

It's all about the g forces ie deceleration. The lower that force is, the better you are.

I read this now I feel sick.
