  • @mal2ksc
    @mal2ksc 3 месяца назад +471

    I was taught in lifeboat training by the Coast Guard that if you have to jump from any substantial height, do these things:
    1. Cross your legs and point your toes to minimize the chance of getting "wishboned" on impact.
    2. Grab the front collar area of your life jacket and pull down on it as hard as you can so it doesn't ride up and strangle you because when you hit the water, it's going to stop even faster than you are.
    3. If you can see any air bubbles, particularly in the wake of a boat, aim for them. Where the surface is already disturbed, you stand a better chance of cutting through it. This also might help with the next guideline.
    4. Try to land where people will notice! You're going to be hurt and need help getting out of the water, so the faster they can get to you, the better.

      “Surface tension” is a misconception. It has essentially nothing to do with the impact forces, which as stated are inertia / acceleration (of the water) effects exerting “equal and opposite” forces on the body.
      Surface tension is caused by imbalanced attraction forces within the _one molecule thick_ surface layer of any bubble in, drop of, or bulk water.

      They are a scam they took money from me after I canceled my account when all of my therapists kept canceling my appointments. I emailed them about my issues and they said they would not reimburse me but they eventually stop taking money from me. The therapists assigned from the walk in clinic were much better with a zoom platform and literally hunt you down to make sure you okay if you don’t show up to your zoom appointment. I was going through a very rough time with postpartum depression and felt abandoned and alone when using BetterHelp. The therapist almost ruined my marriage. When I used the hospital services majority of my mental health services such as zoom therapy , group therapy and medication was free to minimum cost and reliable. This is only my experience I’m not sure others had a better experience with them but me personally would never recommend betterhelp.

The side of my swimsuit split out completely and I was briefly paralyzed as i floated and waited for rescue. No one came to pull me from the water and after a minute or so i was able to move enough to make it to the ladder. After i had significant bruising on my hip on the side that struck the water.

    The trick is to not enter the water at 90deg. If you can hit the water at a ~20deg angle you will skip and spread the impact force out over a greater area. Bit like how they bring space craft into the atmosphere.
    So all good, the hard part is getting to a 20 deg impact angle :P

      I attempted to weigh the Golden Gate Bridge once.
      Walking across, I leaned over the railing and thumped several cables, timing the wave pulses up and back. From the period(s) and the length(s) of each I sampled, the linear density of the cabling - estimated from cable diameter and packing density of the steel strands - , and number of cables holding up the entire deck, one can with a simple equation get a reasonable estimate of the cable tension, I.e. the weight it supported, and thus the deck’s mass - assuming they were all in equal tension. Unfortunately, I couldn’t at the time come up with a way to calculate the lengths of my sampled cables as they hung from the parabolic main cable bundles.
      Now, I would fabricate a 45° sighting tool, and pace the isosceles equivalent off on the sidewalk or find a likely analog such as the slabs of walkway concrete being some typical length, say, 6 feet. Geometry in service to Physics. I was trying to do this with only what I had on hand and in my head; the specific gravity of steel, my watch, the (poorly remembered, partially re-derived) equation, etc.
      As I walked back along the shore, I met a lady with a large video camera on a tripod trained on the span. She said they were filming ‘a year in the life of the bridge’ as a movie. I tend to have many odd things I am curious about, so while unusual, that didn’t seem a particularly strange thing to me.
      I told her what I had been doing and why, and she said “I watched you.”
      After a little chit chat, I went on my way.
      A year or two later, the movie had its theatrical release, and it turned out to be a documentary about the bridge’s propensity to be a site for ’jumpers’. Suddenly it made a lot more sense. I’m sure any time they spotted a possible checking out of the scene of proposed action, they alerted the appropriate parties.
      I’ll _bet_ she watched me !

  • @bearcubdaycare
    @bearcubdaycare 4 месяца назад +11

    To quibble with one point, the stated speed at impact seems quite overly precise, as it depends on orientation to the air. Just as feet first reduces the force from the water, it reduces the force from the air, and flatter to the air increases the drag. Orientation is a significant factor in terminal velocity.

    • @DerekCroxtonWestphalia
      @DerekCroxtonWestphalia 2 месяца назад +1

      Yes, I was thinking the advice should include, "go down face down (like lying down) to minimize velocity, then switch to feet first before you hit the water." I have no idea how hard it would be to make that switch, or how much time you would need.

    • @davidb4192
      @davidb4192 Месяц назад +1

      Ex skydiver here: Orientation would only affect your speed at, or near, terminal velocity, when the air resistance becomes significant. This would occur about 6 or seven seconds after jumping. Actual terminal velocity occurs at about 10 seconds or so, if in a flat, face down posture; it would be about 120 mph.

    I seem to recall hearing somewhere else that if you fall from an airplane, the odds of survival are better if you land in a forest, than if you land in a lake - because if you sustain only survivable injuries, at least you won't risk immediately drowning, since you're likely to be incapacitated either way. I wonder whether there are studies that back this up?

    • @supermellow1x265
      @supermellow1x265 4 месяца назад +3

      I would say it also depends on the type of forest and how thick the canopy. The reason that is said is because, tough there are branches, the canopy will break the fall enough to where it is survivable, though you'll most likely have MANY broken bones and probably internal bleeding in most cases.
      I'm no expert on the subject or anything, this is just my thought process based on the information I have.
      For an actual example, take a thick pine forest, probably the safest type of forest to survive a fall from a plane. As they are heavily layered and meant to sway and bend, not only would the outer layer soften the force, but the tree bending will absorb and heavily reduce the momentum and kinetic energy. Not saying you'll get away with no injury, but it is the safest bet for survival.

    1. Thick Modified Wet Suit with some rigidity to protect the body and add flotation.
    2. A "Rigid Shield" that I hold above my head to slow my decent and give me some flight control.
    3. Those "1 Meter Long Cone Shaped Shoes" I queried about above. They kick off once in the water and sink.
    4. Streamlined helmet to protect the head that has air sacs for several breaths underwater.

      I can answer that. As a young fool, I aimed my rifle at a concrete wall four metres away, point blank, and the bullet came directly back and struck my belt buckle, very hard. If it were not for that belt buckle I would have had at least a serious stomach injury. Had the ricochet been at greater angle deflection, I would have been dead. The wider the angle the more velocity and momentum retained by the slug. So, pretty much any recochet is deadly unless the bullet is impeded by a second obstacle; preferably a solid one.

    I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
    78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
    81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
    88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
    92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
    and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
    99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
    102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75

    I learned that the hard way in GTA. I had no parachute when I got out of the plane and I thought when I land on the water it would keep me safe. Unfortunately, when I landed my health bar completely went to zero. I didn't know what happened so when I ask this question to someone else, he said that if you fall from a great height the water doesn't break your fall like when you fall from a much shorter height into a pool.

    I read years ago that the best orientation to enter the water is feet first, hands over head and leaning back slightly. If jumping into shallow water, one needs to plane out the instant the water is hit - that is, get the motion from up-down to go forward feet first parallel to the bottom.

I suffered a few minor fractures, a shattered hip, a fracture to my lower spine and a hemorrhage in the based of my brain above the spine. I probably would've died if they didn't get me to a hospital, though I'm mostly intact today.

    The one instance where I remember somebody a 226 foot foot was about 10 years ago on the Golden Gate Bridge. A high school class was getting a tour of the bridge, and some kids said to his classmate, “watch this,” and climbed over the railing. He was in miraculously good shape when he was pulled out of the water, although I think that was the one you referenced who had bruising and a collapsed lung. He also got in a lot of trouble.

    I used to do diving back when I was in college. When diving head first and from 7.5m or 10m it was pretty common to touch the bottom of the 5m deep pool. But by that time you'd of decelerated enough for it not to be a problem. But just in case, they taught you to do a forward roll as well as sticking your arms out to the side as soon as you entered the water. This would dramatically reduce the depth you would reach. This helped me out quite a bit because going that deep in that short space of time would put massive pressure on your ear drums. But because its a quick decent and ascent, you dont have time to equalise the pressure like a scuba diver would need to. So doing the forward roll certainly helped with the pain in the ears.

    I saw a show on this topic on TV (so it must be true) about 20 years ago...and they said it's best to keep your arms tucked into your chest in an attempt to keep the water from hitting your chin and causing a whiplash affect on the neck...as well as keeping water from rushing up your nose and causing other harms from that. A buddy of mine was in the Marines and in their training sessions he got some whiplash effects due to his being in full gear (including loaded backpack) when going off the high dive into a pool and the water kept knocking his helmet backward upon impact. He still feels the effect of that 20 years later. That's a lot of weight coming into the water from only 30 feet up...but can still hurt you.
