I'm generally uneducated in this field but, I've had a theory for a long time that if you were to change the angle of your body during the fall that you could possibly gain height and "Miraculously" soften your fall. Do you think that this would be possible without something like a wing suit?

Sooo... Got to ask, not because I'm evil or anything, but can you do an episode on giant cannons like the ones from halo or ace combat.(could we make them irl and how, what effects would our atmosphere have on their range and trajectories, how we would aim a giant cannon and how far could we fire a shell on earth or could we launch a shell into space). Again, not evil. Thanks 😀

I thought about this as a kid a lot. I always asked myself how I could kill an ant by tossing it out of a plane. After a while I came to the conclusion, that it has to be about the size and weight that it always survived. My solution to this problem? Bundle thousands of ants to a human shaped package and toss this out of a plane. Man, as a kid I would have been a good apprentice in Kyles super villain crew.

Hi, Kyle! Great show! This is my first time commenting. Just want to correct that falling cats don't spread their legs to increase their surface area and increase their drag. They do it to turn their bodies around as part of their righting reflex so they land on their paws. Because of the conservation of angular momentum, the cats' spread out legs allow it to rotate its body just like the way an ice skater spins faster or slower if its arms are tucked in or spread out. But don't drop your cats to experiment on this! 🐱 Thanks and more power to your show!

Good video as always. The other day I wondered if the Flash, or someone similarly fast, could survive a fall by changing direction as soon as one foot touched the ground, using that momentum to change direction and reduce or eliminate the damage. Thoughts?

Well if you had the initial velocity of a large person, you’d slowly slow down to the proper terminal velocity of the smaller you; however, if you didn’t have enough fall time, it would be the equivalent of being yeeted towards the ground.

Most people have heard "it's not velocity that kills people, it's acceleration", or my favorite version of it: "Speed has never killed someone. Suddenly becoming stationary, that's what gets you" said Jeremy Clarkson once. But I beg to differ, the acceleration itself shouldn't kill you, it's the result of the acceleration, namely, parts of your body having a change in distance between them. So let's say theoretically your body gets accelerated really quickly, but instead of having the acceleration differ between the different parts of your body, every single molecule in your body accelerates in the exact same direction and with the exact same speed at the exact same time, you should survive it. In regular situations, let's say you're in a car, the car pushes the seats in the car, the seat pushes against your back, your back pushes against your spine, which pushes against your internal organs, etc. etc. Because of inertia and your body having mass, this makes your body compress, if you compress a little bit, it won't really affect you, but if you compress a lot, well, you probably die. Same goes for the other way around, if someone pulls you by your hand, you just feel a little pull, but if someone were to yank it, it will probably hurt. Now let's say something pulls extremely hard, extremely quick, then your arm gets torn off, but if you have a force that pulls on your entire body, your body will stay intact.

Try out Arena. It's free to play Magic and you can do it from home in your pajamas. You have to do a bit of grinding to get your collection to a decent size through free-play, but even if you do choose to invest a bit of cash to get you started, you get way more bang for your buck than paper. Paper magic is fun of course (I enjoy the social aspect of it), but Arena is much more budget friendly if your wallet needs a breather.

MythBusters addressed surviving terminal velocity. They theorized if you did a perfect military parachute landing (feet first then falling to your side so the impact goes feet, knee, hip, shoulder) then the force would spread out so each impact location only absorbed 25% of it. This kept the force under the fatal limit.
