    In relation to their body size and ours, when they fall 20+ feet out of a tree in their acorn vehicles, it's like skydiving for us. You could say they pull off a huge stunt, a Weevil Knievel if you will.

    • @Mythraen
      @Mythraen 9 месяцев назад +14

      Except, the relationship between falling and size and distance is the inverse of what you suggest.
      Something smaller can fall much further much safer than we can. They'll hit with much less force. They also fall at (roughly) the same speed, so while it will be a large relative _distance_ to them, it will be the same duration of falling as if you fell 20 feet... just over a second... which is a very short skydive.
