You also see this type of thing.... Jeordam Send a noteboard - 18/05/2017 10:45:59 PM

In the Fast & Furious series. Sure, apparently all of these kids have years of experience, tools, and facilities to do all this work on their cars....and they apparently also have the software and computer tech to meticulously look at optimal engine performance and such....

But apparently they don't understand basic physics or the law of conservation of momentum or anything like that....like if you jump from a car going 90mph, your body is actually traveling at (roughly) 90mph...and should you hit anything...you will splat. Not just get a mild headache and an arm in a splint.

Presumably Superman moves downward when catching Lois to prevent fatal deceleration. - 18/05/2017 06:16:36 PM 205 Views
Even just bending the knees and letting the arms drop a little would make a huge difference *NM* - 18/05/2017 07:03:09 PM 167 Views
Not enough. Not nearly enough. *NM* - 18/05/2017 07:08:30 PM 128 Views
If you look at the math you might be surprised - 19/05/2017 02:48:28 AM 197 Views
