What is the rate of speed and the pressure the impact has on human body?
Posted on August 16th, 2009 by The Militia in Speed MetalFall Height =60 feet
Weight of body =190lbs.
Height of body = 5′9
Age =65
First fall in late fifties. Was told never walk again. Well he did.
Second fall early sixities. Metal rods in legs, back, pelvis.
Last fall @ 65 with above specs.
His brother said coroner told him every bone in body if broken. Another family member said died on impact.
I want the truth please, if someone could give the answers. Thank you.
Sorry about the typo. The coroner said all the bones were broken. This is my stepfather, who has passed om 12-06-2006.
Maybe I should have included this:
He was in a tree 60 feet from the ground. He was trimming the limbs off. We don’t know what exactly happened to cause the fall. He is deceased now. I want to know did he possibly have any chance of not feeling pain. Thank you.

Jump from 60 feet up and see if you live, if you do then they obviously lied and you can be angry, if you don’t then YOU ARE A PIRATE

Hmmm…idk good question

what answers?
"every bone in body if broken" is totally consistent with "died on impact", especially if he fell from some height and onto hard surface.
How much of a fall can human systain? Depends on how you fall (you can safely jump out of 3d floor window with proper training); also amount of calcium in the bones with depends on diet and medical conditions.

Here’s a few interesting facts;
if you weight 100 lbs, and jump such that you spend 1/2 the time in the air and 1/2 the time touching ground, your body goes between supporting 0 lbs, then 200 lbs, then 0 lbs again while you’re in the air, etc. now, try jumping without that "bounce" you get from your knees…heck, land flat on your heels. the result is more time spent in the air, and less time spent on the ground. see how your body now has to support more weight? that’s why it hurts to stop suddenly. that’s why it hurts more to hit concrete than it hurts to hit a sponge. to calculate the impact of hitting concrete, well, we’d have to konw how he landed.
another fun fact/quick estmate:
60ft = 18.3m
x=0.5 a t^2
18.3 = 0.5 * 9.81 * t^2
t = 1.93 seconds it took to reach ground,
v = a t
9.81 * 1.93 = 19 m/s = impact speed = 42 mph.
like it has been said before, the number above is a worst-case scenario. how you fall, and what you do when you hit the ground is what counts the most. compare getting hit by a 42 mph train versus getting hit by a 42 mph car that starts hitting the brakes, and then rolling atop the car’s hood, roof, etc. what would hurt more? which one might you survive?

s=1/2*a*t^2 ;where s=distance, a=acceleration, t=time
60=1/2×30.32xt^2
gives t=2 s appr. v=a*t=60 ft/s approx.
The iimpact is m*v=190*60=11400 ftlb/s= 21 horsepower
which is sufficient to break every bone in the body!
