I mean once you jump off the plane it's easy but timing the jump right seems hard.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2416666&forum_id=2#24458489)

same applies to elevator crashes - why not just jump up right before it hits the ground?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2416666&forum_id=2#24458439)

you moron, you wait till you get close to the ground then jump/roll out of the exit

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2416666&forum_id=2#24458486)

because it would be too heavy and wouldn't fly

yo ostrich....why aren't your wings stronger??

Hey uhh...nice try bro but I have a Physics degree so perhaps you should defer. Yw.

Care to explain why it wouldn't be the same? Assuming you could dodge the explosion, oc...

it's because people panic and they jump from too high....if you time it to where you're like 20 feet above the ground you can pull it off with maybe a sprained ankle....broken leg at worst.

Show us your vast physics knowledge bro and tell me how you jump up faster than the plane is falling. Go ahead. You can't because you actually know nothing about physics. Done.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2416666&forum_id=2#24458911)

you're a riot.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2416666&forum_id=2#24458913)

If you can't understand the simple and trivial analogy of jumping from the surface of the plane and jumping from a ledge a few feet above the ground then god help you.

I sure hope you don't practice law with those analytical "skills"

but no yeah i gave up those dreams to become a full-time poaster.

According to the laws of physics, both the elevator car and Buster dropped at the same breakneck speed. In order to overcome that velocity and survive the impact, Buster would've had to have jumped up faster than the elevator was racing down.

great flame or you are legitimately retarded

Explain retard.

The ACTUAL PERSON survived, obviously Buster the dummy was unable to jump.

what's the debate and who is between?

why don't airlines give everyone a parachute; why do i get a flotation device while flying over land?

also, why do people drown in their cars, why can't they just open a window and swim out?

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2416666&forum_id=2#24459061)

but also has been done unsuccessfully, see the capt sum ting wong flight where that girl tried it and survived but then didn't stick the landing and got run over by the ambulance

The plane literally flipped around in the air and smashed down again and didn't break apart.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2416666&forum_id=2#24461562)

there is a ride at the fair that is basically like a massive platform that goes up hundreds of feet in the air, and then *drops*, hundreds of feet. when you drop, standing on the platform, it's like you are weightless. there is no downward force driving you towards the earth (otherwise, everyone on the ride would fly through the bottom of the platform and die).

in an elevator, it should be much the same. you should be weightless, and able to jump upwards to avoid impact as the elevator makes contact with the bottom of the shaft. the greater concern seems to be flying through the roof of the elevator.

Just funny as hell how people are scared of flying bc of plane crashes. This thread just reconfirms how much of the world is stupid and expects the government to save them. I see responses like "just make planes safer," MOAR regulation" like no bro, just realize you can do something to save yourself in plane crashes. Take some personal responsibility.
