The gezzer that jumped from a baloon,,, question? Born hunter , anybody else

[Aaron Proffitt 142]

so he basically, he fell to earth very quickly did a few barrell rolls in the process and then his parachute opened, he landed and lived happily ever after

Yip thats my view on it.............another pointless f*****g task from these space freaks!!

Read on, you might learn something useful instead for a change instead of filling your brain with pish like X factor and big brother..

 

One of the physicans that was a part of the research team was a guy by the name of Dr. Jonathon Clarke . His wife was Patricia Clarke , was one of the astronauts who died when the space shuttle, Columbia , disintegrated upon re-entry into the atmosphere. Roughly, the same altitude that Baumgartner jumped from . Dr. Clarke was also on the research team that studied exactly how the astronauts died when the shuttle came apart . Yes, he has slides that contain the autopsy of his own wife. Dr. Clarke joined the Stratos team so he could participate in the research into the life sustainment equipment that would make a 'ditch' at that altitude survivable. I believe they suceeded . The part they have to reconcile is at that speed, if you were in a vessel traveling plus Mach... when it broke apart ,instead of having one object traveling at Mach + , now you would have several hundred or thousands of pieces all traveling faster than the speed of sound . This would cause 'waves', for lack of a better of word, to crash into each other and would crush anything caught in the mele. So, now that they've established the bailout itself would be survivable at that height...they just have to work out the minute details of being crushed by multiple sonic booms.

Blah blah blah....but how far would he have went underground if he never had a parachute. Lets say he is 12 stone including the weight of the suit.....did he hit a sandy area or what? Would a nosedive be better than a bellyflop at increasing the depth....all things id be interested in............

[Aaron Proffitt 142]

What shaped helmet ? Wait...how the hell much is 12 stone ?

Think I'll keep my feet on the deck

Cheers for that aaron, interesting stuff

[scothunter 12,609]

168 1bs

[Strong Stuff 2,171]

It's simple TOMO ............... He was as heavy as you!

[TOMO 28,862]

12 stone is 168 lbs Aaron,

 

I think people bounce, when they hit the earth on a regular parachute jump,,,, mind it might be different at a couple hundred mile an hour

Fecker.......lol,, just cos your a lightweight now,,,,

[scothunter 12,609]

You would go into the fuckinh ground like a dart lol

[paulus 26]

was listening to my dad and bunch of his mates debating this last night , they reckon it was" a fake like the moon landing " they were saying that surely opening a chute at those speeds would cause massive internal injuries ,would break your neck ,back ,shoulders etc , that the ropes on the chute would snap .. dont know but maybe they have a point

the speed would decrease as he got closer to the ground as the air would get thicker so by the time his chute opened he would be travelling at the normal speed of any skydiver

You've gone and ruined that for Lab now Tomo, with his TV show based version of reality I think he was expecting something more like this:

All right now to get to the good stuff...

 

Felix weighs 168 lbs. . That doesn't seem like alot . Even though he's Austrian , he has been in the States training for this , so figure he put on the obligatory 20 lbs for the Yank standard . Puts him at 188 . Plus an additional ,say, 30 for the suit and gear . He's now at 218 lbs.

 

It's a simple formula:

 

energy=weightXvelocityXvelocity

 

or E=MC^2, where E is energy, M is mass, and C is velocity. It's the mass of the bullet times the velocity squared. So we figure Felix like a bullet using terminal velocity.

Lol

So how does a meteorite not slow down lol
