And making sandwiches, while walking on a treadmill?
Wait, is she on a treadmill now? That changes the whole equation, since she’s not moving. You could just jump whenever you wanted.
… Unless she were to run fast enough to take off, in which case you’d open up a whole new set of problems.
With the manbomb having a horizontal speed component…
What you really need is a trapdoor, suspended next to the roof. Then you can initiate the fall without any horizontal speed to worry about.
I’m happy to report that my independent dynamic simulation freefall spreadsheet calculates an ideal jump from 600 feet at 24.1 feet in vacuum, and 26.7 feet in air with some reasonable assumtions about manbomb size and form factor. Wind, however, plays a surprisingly large role, with even a 3mph wind changing the landing point by nearly 6 feet (due to the rather interesting interaction between the vertical and horizontal motion).
Maybe a special streamlined suit, to minimize the influence of air?
Guys, guys, guys…
We put in a **zip line from the roof to the target spot on the sidewalk!!!
No no no. That will become a pedestrian obstacle that the target will avoid.
OTOH, maye a ground level chute to force the target along a predictable path…
Duh, the zip line will be camouflaged, of course.
Is the target a pole dancer? 'Cause a stripper pole would be a good disguise. And kind of a lure too.
Dare I say, a lure with allure?
:smack:
% it’s raining men…%
So quick question, addressed to those knowledgeable in the skill of manbombing, what gear/s do I need? Is it feasible from only 600 ft. up? or should you do it higher?
You mean, besides a man?
Like any other sport, there’s a range of gear available. Spend more, get more, but of course like in anything else there is a law of diminshing returns. But I say, spend every penny you got, because frankly, you aren’t going to be able to trade up for future man bombings.
Michael Phelps had some super special low-drag swim suit when he won his medals, so I sould think you might start with some all-over suit of the same materials. Make sure you shave any uncovered skin.
Um, this is one sport where a helmet is not going to do you any good, it might even critically interfere with your visibility.
As for height, you’ll have to use your own judgement. The greater the height, the higher the point value for a hit, but the greater the CREP (it’s a probability of error stat developed by the military for planning tactical and stratgic bombing).
Groans maybe if the building was on a treadmill, a very big one at that…
I think we can safely assume that manbombing will involve, not to be sexist here, a man. Women are probably too smart for it, that’s why they’re in the kitchen making me something to eat
Sorry, I’m going to have to disagree with you here. A good solid helmet can drastically increase your damage on impact. Like many rookie manbombers, you’re probably finding yourself confused by the fact that in manbombing, a helmet does not exist to protect your head from what it’s hitting, but rather to allow your head to do more damage to what it hits. Before, you know, pulping and all that.
Whoa, let’s step back. What’s the real point of the manbomb? Some would say to kill the target. Some would say it’s something more abstract, like a demonstration of precision flying.
Me, I think it’s to make the largest possible mess. That means all skulls need to shatter equally, and ideally the manbomb should land on a troop of Boy Scouts.
I don’t think you’re going to do much damage on the rebound, sad to say. On a Scout-based measurement of devastation, you’re probably looking at somewhere from two Eagles up to seven Cubs, max.
Ya’ll realize that Letterman actually does this on occasion on his show.
The pumpkins and watermelons are pretty good substitutes for the human head when they hit the ground.
Except for the seeds.
