why is jumping off a bridge often fatal, but people are rarely injured in high diving?
In: Physics
Assume both are falling 150ft, they’re going roughly 55mph I believe. Possible by someone trained, but if not you could slam your head and go unconscious, break a leg or arm and then treading water would be hard. Also the person would likely have clothes and shoes that when wet would weigh them down if they were trying to survive. If you’re talking about higher bridges, well then perhaps they’re going 70mph when they hit water so faster than experts have attempted.
