That Bike Is STOOPIDTALL

Hastur says...

Actually, doing the math for the tangential velocity of a falling rigid rod, I think we were both wrong. (An exercise left for the reader...)

No, the bike frame would decreasingly oppose his downward acceleration until about 30-40 degrees off the pavement. It would be like sliding off a (very slippery) 14.5 ft radius pipe, half-buried in the ground.

Hastur says...

No. His vertical speed would be the same regardless of whether he fell off the bike straight down or it fell over. Physics FTW!

Payback said:

Actually, he wouldn't fall straight down, he would get a lot of horizontal velocity and ultimately hit at about the same speed as a 6-7 ft fall. With a good tuck-n-roll, maybe a broken bone worst case, pulled ligaments probably.

Chain Reaction - 500 Matchsticks

Hastur says...

Back in school, we had an art project that used burned match sticks, so we had to burn 'em. Strike, extinguish. Strike, extinguish. That sure seemed inefficient, so I got the bright idea to just take a handful of matches--as many as I could hold--and strike them all at once.

I was right about one thing: it was more efficient.
