Hail's low casualty rate gets it a reputation for being pretty mild, but considering that it does WAY more property damage than tornadoes annually, I'd argue it's actually the bigger threat.
Very few people die from hail, and as a result, people treat it casually -- with some even going so far as to run around in hail storms. But, is that really safe? At what point does hail go from "weather anomaly" to "cold-cored killer"? What size hail WILL kill you instantly? I'm gonna find out.

Hi! Weather technician here. Typically when we issue warnings for hail we consider anything greater than .25in to be moderate and .50-.75in and up to be severe criteria. So you started with something thats already pretty scary to me!

It's worth noting that hail does not just fall once. Many hail pieces would hit you, so is more dangerous.

Ballistics gel isn't a decent analogue for skin covered flesh. Skin has much higher tensile strength than muscle or fat. More importantly, I think the ballistics gel used here wasn't particularly dense (presumably for better jiggling).

@tyler1107 2 жыл бұрын

Mostly because ballistics gel is meant for penetrative rather than blunt damage. There are way to make analogous human skin, but they aren’t really worth it for this experiment. Also ballistics gel gets soft quickly in the heat, which changes how it reacts to damage.

For reference, 1" hail diameter (size of quarters) is the new criterion for a severe thunderstorm based on impacts from hail. 2-inch hail is classified as "significant" by the Storm Prediction Center. And speaking of "Big Chungus", an 8.25-inch diameter "bowling ball" hailstone was dropped on the town of Vivian, South Dakota, from a very powerful supercell, making it the largest hailstone on record. This was recorded on July 22nd, 2010.

i was riding a motorcycle at about 90kmph when it started hailling little piece a little bit smaller than a tic-tac. the time it took me to get off the highway and into a store i was later covered in spots of blood. the impact and water caused the skin to break and some blood to come out of each spot. it was like getting powerwashed. i was only in a t-shirt and shorts it was in the middle of summer and i decided that day to go to the dollar store buy some beach stuff for the next day. the cloud were starting to turn black and it happened very fast. the hail were covered in melted water as they came down.

I sorta get the feeling that the pressure of your air cannon was a bit high. Any hail I've seen, no matter how hard the surface, normally bounces and is left interact. The fact that your synthetic hail is being obliterated on contact indicates they're probably hitting with a lot more force than real hail.

A few years back there was a freak hail storm and the hail was around 1-1.5 inches. A lot of cars were damaged and a local mall was destroyed because the hail broke the sky lights and flooded the mall so it was closed for almost the rest of the year. The hail was so damaging it chipped the pain on my mom's Jeep wrangler which had a coating on it to prevent the paint from chiping when she is off roading, we also found out that it was coming down sideways and had damaged the door to her jeep not just the hood and she had to have them both repaired and the dents pulled out

Another fun hail fact (or theory really) is the way hail grows in size. It's assumed it grows when it falls out of the storm and gets caught in the updraft of a storm. So it melts going down, and refreezes going up. Creating concentric growth rings as it adds mass. Its known as multiple trip theory. So the stronger the updraft, the bigger the hail!

When I was seven in 1997 we had a terrible hail storm in Kansas. My dad, my brother, and myself were trapped in his truck a few blocks from home when it started. I don't know how we made it home because I just remember the visibility being nearly zero because of the size and amount of hail falling. We decided to run from the car to our house when we are parked out front and my brother got nailed in the head by chunk that was softball sized. Now it could've probably been closer to baseball size but the way I remember it being was gigantic, but I was seven. It gave him a concussion and he ended up having to go to the hospital after the storm had passed.

A grapefruit fell so fast I couldn't tuck up small enough to keep down with it, and also spun up and flew away from me at an angle with magnus lift. The danger from hailstones increases faster than their mass does because of the increased speed.

I live in Texas and several years ago we got the worst hail storm I've ever seen. I didn't actually measure it but we had hail fall that's wasn't just bigger then my fist but my entire open hand. These things punched holes through not only our roof but the ceiling underneath it. After the storm was over you could see the sky from inside the house. Only time I've ever had to hide in the bathroom from a storm that wasn't producing tornados.

If I recall correctly, and I read this in a book, Poland had Hail the size of grapefruit. Luckily no one died (I think it was also in the 1990's as well)
