@@AnthonyShuker I don’t think you know what the word momentum means…..momentum is defined as a combination of velocity and weight……so let’s just say that the guy is an average weight of 188 pounds falling at the rate of gravity which would give him a velocity of 25.3 ft per second and the equation for momentum is m=wv so 25.3 x 188 is 4756.4 ft • ibs…..which means…..something probably….however statistically based on research it is extremely common to survive a 10 ft fall based on research done by the Federal Aviation Agency in 1963 based on their research it is common to fall between 10-45 feet onto concrete with minor injuries or no injuries however that’s only out of 128 cases….

He's actually not lying. It's true. When you know the route he did, you realize that he takes calculated risks that appear crazy but given his skill and confidence, it decreases the "craziness" of the endeavour by a lot. Same way that seeing swat interventions looka crazy, but in the end, they drilled those entries so much that they just applying protocol and minimizing risk. Probably doesn't seem as crazy to them than to us. He's still a beast nonetheless and seems like a good human being.

My point in explaining his point, is that when he says “you probably wouldn’t die” he doesn’t mean you’d fall and maybe break an arm and be fine.. he means you’d hit the ground and your heart would still somehow be pumping lmao

@@williamnicolas122 no you don’t get it at all🤣 he is saying he wouldn’t “die” as in death by impact lmao that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t fall and be absolutely mangled beyond belief to the point where he not only wouldn’t be able to get off the route himself, he’d also sustain permanent injuries if he managed to survive. My point in explaining his point, is that when he says “you probably wouldn’t die” he doesn’t mean you’d fall and maybe break an arm and be fine.. he means you’d hit the ground and your heart would still somehow be pumping lmao
