And to be precise, if you were to drop the person from that three feet onto the couch cushion, that would be the same force of impact that propelled him three feet. Horse****.

If it takes a certain force to propel X amount of weight Y amount of distance, then simple physics dictates that it would take the same force to stop that given weight from the given distance. Why is it so hard for you to understand that the guy was vaulted with no warning so he took the full hit, why is it so hard to understand that he would put his hands and feet down before he landed? Did you watch the video, the guy was reaching for his lower back before he even hit the floor.. On paper, maybe you are right, must be an engineer thing  Technitions usually are the ones to put stuff into practice anyway Note the smiley faces... !!! The *total* force needed to lift the man off the couch to apex and then from apex to stationary on the couch again will be equal. The difference is in the total amount of time that force is applied. It's no different from a man climbing a 100' ladder or being shot out of a cannon to a height of 100'. Both take about the same amount of energy ( exactly the same in a vacuum), but I'd bet you'd rather climb. They'd have to shoot me out of a canon, since I'm afraid of heights. -- Nom=de=Plume |

Loogy, in your humble opinion, who here is not stupid or an asshole or both. I know a whole lot of us are one or the other, in your opinion, but I'm wondering just who *is not*. -- John H "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
