Lets say you were in the World Trade Center during 9/11 and after the planes hit, your office floor is collapsing and the room is filling with smoke. You either jump out the window or suffocate to death.
You decide to jump, but before you do, you grab your desk and throw it out before jumping.
As the desk falls, you hold onto it. Right until it's a few feet from the ground, you stand up onto the desk and jump.
Would this break your fall.
NO you fucking moron..
Absolutely not you fucking moron

Yes, the physics are reasonable...F = ma
I like how we chose the same word to describe his idiocy
>>680382829
>>680382832
This thread is now a "call this idiot a moron thread"
>>680382639
yes it would work, seen it happen before..
you should try it and film it for us we need this meme busted
Fucking b8
>>680382829
>>680382832
>>680382909
Why though. If you jumped from the desk then landed on the ground, the fall would only equal the distance you jumped from the desk.
Of course.
You should try it.
>>680382639
This fucking moron isnt for real
Can you even lift a desk OP
the answer is faggot
>>680382639
to land with almost zero velocity, you gotta jump with such force that would break your legs as if you didnt jump at all
>>680382639
I'd jump and aim for the awning
>>680382879
F = m(a1-a2), a1 >> a2 where a1 is g... in other words, splat!
>>680382639
Skip the small scale tests, op
>>680383069
Like that stupid fuckin scene in one of those dumb Hobbit movies where Legolas is jumping up stones that are falling.
You're an idiot, and so is that rubbish film.
>>680382639
it would break something.... not the fall, but something....
>>680383069
Basic physics... if youre accelerating towards the floor and falling at lets say 50mph. You then jump, no faster than 1mph up. How do them numbers counter each other?
>>680383069
You would hit the ground at 150mph minus your jumping speed of about 5mph
>>680383413
You can jump at 5mph? You as autist as the OP?
>>680382639
You're supposed to strip all the clothes off from the dead bodies on your floor and tie them together to create a parachute. That's how I survived 9/11, anyway.
You'd be dead anyhow who gives a fuck?
Jump real hard then kappa

When you are falling you are effective in zero G pushing off it would be like pushing off another skydiver. Technically speaking it would slow you down a very tiny amount since both of you apply reaction forces to each other, but this if you were falling at terminal velocity (which you would be if you jumped near the top) there would be nowhere near enough air resistance on the desk. Even if there was you would have to create a instantaneous impulse force equal to your total kinetic energy at that point which would be the same as hitting the ground anyway.
What are you thinking, you fucking moron.
Of course not, you fucking moron.
Well, your body would not have impacted with the ground, so you might survive.
>>680382639
my dad survived 9/11 from this method when he was working on one of the top floors. OP is correct.
>>680383506
Thats about jogging speed you fucking moron
>>680383306
Yes but elves weigh nothing. Brainlet
>>680382639
maybe if the conservation of energy was not considered universal law, then yes. In order to pull this stunt off, you'd have to be able to jump with enough force to counteract your previous potential energy, which was about a fuckton, considering the fact that you were in a skyscraper.
GR8 B8 M8
this makes me miss 9/11
>>680383825
Ur dad is dead
Spread your coat/jacket out and sail downward or at least a lower building
>>680382639
I rate this 9/11
Mythbusters did a "jump in a falling elevator " episode. Same concept. Answer no.
>>680383858
You really need to never breed.
My best bud was on the first floor of the first tower that fell. He had nowhere to go and was nearly crushed and smothered to death by corpses and rubble. Said he had a detached thumb stuck in his mouth when he came to.
>>680384513
Pink Panter did it and worked. Answer YES.
I'd throw $20 on a recreation for you to try.
>>680382639
>>680382639
Hell no, not even close.
MORON the falling speed of a average adult is 70 mph. That means you would have to jump up equal to that speed to land on the ground safely. Now go be a hero
