Are you really that friggin' stupid? Again, show me your math. The
forces are equal, dip****. The "variables" would be such things as did
he land exactly like he took off? If you take a known weight, such as a
piece of concrete of X dimension and Y weight, put a load cell between
it and the cushion and launch it to Z height. Get the reading. Now, take
the same Y weight, drop it from the same Z height with the load cell on
the cushion. What will the results be and why?

A bullet is shot straight up into the air.
Is the force the bullet leaves the barrel with the same as the force it hits
the ground with?

Well, probably not in that case as the bullet falling reaches terminal
velocity, which is much slower than the bullet leaving the weapon. In
this case the bullet scenario is not relevant as in the couch incident,
the falling body does not reach terminal velocity...
