Some creatures can theoretically survive a fall from ANY height. How? Kyle explains the science of fall damage.

I'm generally uneducated in this field but, I've had a theory for a long time that if you were to change the angle of your body during the fall that you could possibly gain height and "Miraculously" soften your fall. Do you think that this would be possible without something like a wing suit?

Sooo... Got to ask, not because I'm evil or anything, but can you do an episode on giant cannons like the ones from halo or ace combat.(could we make them irl and how, what effects would our atmosphere have on their range and trajectories, how we would aim a giant cannon and how far could we fire a shell on earth or could we launch a shell into space). Again, not evil. Thanks 😀

I thought about this as a kid a lot. I always asked myself how I could kill an ant by tossing it out of a plane. After a while I came to the conclusion, that it has to be about the size and weight that it always survived. My solution to this problem? Bundle thousands of ants to a human shaped package and toss this out of a plane. Man, as a kid I would have been a good apprentice in Kyles super villain crew.

Also, that explains his villainy actions, that is what they do on his home planet or world. They are sort of like Saiyans. Omg Kyle can become a super saiyan! Where is Krillin btw?

Hi, Kyle! Great show! This is my first time commenting. Just want to correct that falling cats don't spread their legs to increase their surface area and increase their drag. They do it to turn their bodies around as part of their righting reflex so they land on their paws. Because of the conservation of angular momentum, the cats' spread out legs allow it to rotate its body just like the way an ice skater spins faster or slower if its arms are tucked in or spread out. But don't drop your cats to experiment on this! 🐱 Thanks and more power to your show!

You have to do a bit of grinding to get your collection to a decent size through free-play, but even if you do choose to invest a bit of cash to get you started, you get way more bang for your buck than paper. Paper magic is fun of course (I enjoy the social aspect of it), but Arena is much more budget friendly if your wallet needs a breather.

Well if you had the initial velocity of a large person, you’d slowly slow down to the proper terminal velocity of the smaller you; however, if you didn’t have enough fall time, it would be the equivalent of being yeeted towards the ground.

Hey Kyle love the show keep at it. I have something you forgot: The ground you land on. When you fall you really don't want to be landing on the pavement and concrete (duh), but also water is really bad. Water doesn't compress (just as concrete) so water is out. If there is no other option than water, feet first. Better is a forest because trees catch you but don't stop you immediately. However trees can skewer you like saruman in return of the king. Snow is also good and soft, but best is a swamp. Swamps have lots of vines and stuff that catch you so go for a swamp. then the horse falling on to you: I used the Wikipedia variables for the larger riding horses. I used roughly the same variables for the Cd (0.5) and the A (1,1) (the horse is about 173 cm in height). For the mass I took 550 and for g 9,81 m/s/s. plugging in the numbers we get ((2x550x9,81)/(0,5x1,255x1,1))^0,5 = 125,03386 m/s that is about 5 m/s faster than a bullet at muzzle velocity (where the bullet leaves the barrel) but than a horse... on your head soooo unless you really are thor (or a super villain with some forcefield) you would be dead.
