thanks again Sophicentaur,
So this equation has
m = mass
h = length of my arm to the center of gravity
v = velocity I would have to ride to get over the bar
Is g = to g force? Is the g going to be 5? I didn't understand the g force as 5 as you mentioned in your first response.
so if I used...
Thanks for your suggestions. It does seem pretty hard though to convert the forward force into a rotational momentum around the bar. But I love the idea of curling the body up at the point of impact, that makes great sense.
If you were riding a bike and then reached out to grab a bar over your head,
Picture the following senerio... a 50 lb kid is riding a bicycle as fast as he can toward a cloths line. Just at the moment he travels under the bar, he reaches up and grabs the bar and let's the bike go flying off...
