So speed does not kill. That sounds pretty counter intutive to me. Try this experiment.
Find a block of flats.
Jump head first out of a ground floor window, you will probably survive.
Now try the same thing from a second floor window, and you will probably be seriosly injured.
Once you have recoverd from that try the third floor, chances are you will die, but if not then when you recover, leap out of the fourt floor window and you will almost certainly die.
The only difference is that the higher you jump, the faster your speed upon cranial impact with the deck, so speed kills.
If I took a .303 shell and threw it at you you will probably live. The same missile being fired from a Lee Enfield will kill you. The only difference is the speed the bullet hits you.
So how come speed does not kill? It seems obvious to me that the faster you are travelling when you have an accident, the less likely you are to survive, or am I missing something here? :confused:
