Wow. I'm a bit of a weirdo'cause I was very disappointed I missed the whole ambulance ride and everything because I was out cold, lol. Paramedics, are truly my heroes
That day I didn't respect physics about 20 feet away in the trunk of my car was all of my safety equipment harnesses ropes helmet. But I figured hey it's only 33 feet done it 1000 times. I broke all sorts of stuff, learned to not ever do that again
Ok, that makes sense. So the variable that I don't have, but can estimate is the time it took to change my momentum from falling speed to zero, "impulse"
Fortunately it was early in the day while hanging speakers so no crowd and yeah I was unconscious for two hours woke up in an MRI machine I smacked the ground pretty darn hard.
thank you fresh_42. I landded on my side, so my center of mass was 6in from ground on impact with concrete. but do I understand you correctly that the measurement I'm looking for is G force upon impact? As a way to measure layman term hit the ground
It was 18 hours a day of hard work and had to do several things. First thing in the morning figure out where to hook my chains that a motor would climb to the ceiling of the venue that I was doing a concert in. Then operate the sound equipment for the show, tear it all down and put it back in...
I have a basic high school education but and self taught in basic physic. I have worked for 33 years touring with bands in 17 countries as an audio engineer (soundman). I'm not great with mathematics but I enjoy learning about the theories of physics and plugging numbers into mathematical...
I weight 90.7kg. I fell 10.05m landing on soild concrete. how do I express the "power of my impact? in G-force? A relitive weight? I am self taught in very basic physics after a high school education.
