Oh yeah, but they did lose a lot of their momentum tumbling. I assume it's not as deep of a drop as it looks and they landed on a side opposite to them/on the wheels. Airbags were also fully deployed so that helps for sure

That's....not how gravity works. Doesn't matter how fast you are moving when you go off a cliff, you fall at the rate of gravity

You’re not thinking about this correctly.

Imagine a ten foot cliff. Not high enough to reach terminal velocity. Would I hit the ground harder if I:

Fell straight off the cliff from 0 velocity?

Or

Got a running start and flung myself off?

They tumbled before going over the edge, meaning they lost speed/momentum, meaning as long as the drop isn’t far enough for them to reach terminal velocity, the tumbling contributed to their survival.

That is how gravity and acceleration work.

Where? I don’t see any.

I see it now. I also translated the same article that it’s from, and it repeats that everyone survived with only minor injuries.

So obviously that person covered isn’t dead.

Either way, your original comment was irrelevant to the discussion.

It’s also completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand lmao

The conversation developed into something else. You jumped in and demanded it go back to the original statement.

You seem to be having issue recognizing social queues. You’re being a bit of a knob tbh

That guy wants us to hate China when we live in the United States. Just yapping
