Mad!

 

There is, however, a high school physics exams question in there somewhere...

 

A freefalling skydiver makes use of a net instead of a parachute to break his fall.  He is travelling at a terminal velocity of 200km/h when he hits the net and comes to rest in 1.5 sec.  What G-force does his body experience?

 

Bonus question: If 50 G's is the maximum a human body can withstand and survive, is the skydiver now:

a) Dead

b) Just plain crazy

 

:lol:

He experienced only 3.8 G's  therefore he survived . b) is the correct answer

Which = 41.5745m

But he could have survived with just a 3.143m stop, So fall from the sky and stop in just over 3m and survive. just crazy :eek:
