I jumped so hard that I smashed through a double-pane window head first."</I><BR/><BR/>Actually its two problems. One is that a person cant even jump as high as two feet. In other words the vast majority of people, even high end sports competitors, can’t jump in place with their legs straight and have it go more than 1 meter high… the records though are from around 2 meters. <BR/><BR/>“The most common misconception about vertical jump is that the measurement displays the athlete's ability to elevate off the ground from a run-up, contrary to from a standstill. The effect of this misconception is that many athletes will quite grossly inflate their vertical jumps.”<BR/><BR/>http://vertcoach.com/highest-vertical-leap.html has some of the highest…<BR/><BR/>Magic Johnson only had a 30” vertical leap! Though the record is 60 inches!!!<BR/><BR/>The problem that made me pay attention was the claim that it was double pane glass. Even with large storefront windows, one cant just smash through double pane!!! <BR/><BR/>Which is why its considered a sucurity benefit. <BR/><BR/>Given that its presumed office window, its not the ¼ inch thick large glass, but the 1/8th inch thick common glass… separating two pieces of this is an air gap… a key to the physics is that the edges are held by a rubber based epoxy that is flexible. <BR/><BR/><I> Apparently no one in Hollywood has ever picked up a piece of broken glass and suffered the inevitable bloodied finger. <BR/>Saying that shards of broken glass are razor sharp is an understatement. A shattered window contains thousands of incredibly sharp edges and dagger-like points. It takes almost no force for one of these points or edges to cause a laceration. However, people in movies routinely jump through plate glass windows without receiving a single scratch.<BR/>Broken glass has at least two mechanisms for slashing a person diving through a window: its weight and its inertia. First, large heavy shards of glass can fall like guillotines, slicing off body parts. Second, when a person jumps or, even worse, drives a motorcycle through a window, the shards of glass tend to stay in place due to their inertia. The only way to move them is to apply a force. If the person's body provides this force by pushing on the edge of a piece of glass, it can slice right through clothing, skin, and flesh. In the real world, jumping or driving through a plate glass window would be suicidal.<BR/>There are individuals who have accidentally fallen through windows without sustaining serious injuries. There are also people who have survived the Ebola virus. However, in both cases the odds are not particularly good.</I><BR/><BR/>While the paragraph doesn’t cover double pane, I will point out that with double pane the shards don’t fall out like with single pane. What you get is something that looks like a puckered hole lined with razor blades… the first pane gets smashed, and the second pane stops them from continuing onward as a second force is needed to smash the second pane, and that force HAS to press on the broken glass from the first pane. <BR/>Most likely a person going head first through a window with a large run, ends up only halfway through it and sliced up in a way that is usually fatal, or near it.<BR/>So I call foul on this part of the story… something is not right… <BR/>I basically contend that a man cant jump higher than Magic Johnson while a hand is on their shoulder, and they are in a chair… (I contend that given prime conditions one couldn’t do it the way described). With the added problem of smashing the glass as you go through… <BR/>I contend that they dropped him out the window… or the window was open… or something, just not how he described it.Artfldgrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13594241837693535704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25230932.post-79893888376596530352007-11-06T18:52:00.000-05:002007-11-06T18:52:00.000-05:001) How much longer until the Committee Against Tor...1) How much longer until the Committee Against Torture is forced to close?<BR/><BR/>2) Regarding Europe: Germany is being shaken down by Russia via "restrictions" on privately owned German "national" airline Lufthansa as Russia tries to bring about the "'Finlandization' of Europe". (Regarding Finlandization, see Aleksandr Dugin's "Foundations of Geopolitics", for which GRU- strategy-department chief General Nikolai Klokotov wrote the preface, and on which General Leonid Ivashov served as consultant). Russia is of course shaking down Finnish truck drivers too, in exchange for Finnish political cooperation and for Karelian territory, and has previously "owned" Finland. In Britain, the Tories are already raging against "Atlanticism" -- but of course not against Eurasianism, since the Tories belong to Putin, and are rivals of the (compared to many of the EU's political groups) anti-Russian Christian Democrats. I therefore doubt that the European Court of Human Rights will continue to mind very long what Russia does, especially since with Eurabia becoming Islamic as fast as it is (consider the rapid native emigration, low native birthrates, and high Islamic immigration), it will have to be slightly brutal (as opposed to simply murdering the elderly by lethal injection to save money), and will then embrace brutality completely. Perhaps, sometime in the future, the European Court of Sha'aria will reprimand the Russian Emirates for failing to behead Call-to-Putin survivors in a manner sufficiently timely to end their suffering.takeyourcrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06601991548579678109noreply@blogger.com
