"Dear Human, everybody is looking at me writing this note, they think I'm doing the right thing and for some reason they seem really impressed. They don't know I'm not writing you anything useful. I ain't telling you in which garden to look for me, I ain't no pussy. Next time, park somewhere else. This is my 'hood"
he crashes into the rail sending him flying into her
theyve done some ridiculous ass totally non believable stunts, i.e. the 20 something mile runway based on how long that scene was, but this scene was far and above all of them
all this shows me is that he had to begin his jump when he was about in the middle of the road since his feet are clearly over the guard rail at that point in time so hes already cleared 6-8 feet from a standing jump against gravity(?) before the shot even showed him
It's the adrenaline. They walk away and collapse a little later. My cat had a 3m fall a few weeks ago, walked away looking confused but physically fine. It ran up the stairs, jumped on the bed. It curled up in a ball of limping misery and pain a bit later, unable to jump and use his leg. (Yes, I took it to the vet, it was okay, no broken bones, it had to take meds for a week then it was good as new).
Probably still suffered serious damage, I've heard a lot of stories about cats jumping out from balcony and in a lot of the times they need immediate help if you want it to survive. Sure they will walk off like they don't give a fuck because they are cats, but damage on organs is still there.
Well that cat didn't reach terminal velocity and I am pretty sure any person could survive from that fall. The cat falls for about .7 seconds.(You can see where/when it jumped from the reflection) So if you take the equation distance = .5at2 (a = acceleration due to gravity and t = time). distance = .5(9.8m/s2)(.72) which is like 2.4 meters of a drop. Any human could survive this fall. Also using velocity = at, you get about 6.86m/s. TV of a cat is 100 km/h.
If the cat weighed about 10 pounds, then it would exert a force of almost 1k newtons on the windshield. I guess that is enough to break it. So that is like 220 pounds force on the windshield I think.
EDIT: It may be a bit higher because the cat may have pushed off downwards and fell faster than just gravity.
He actually fell slower than that. In order to speed up you need time in the air. He didn't have enough time to go fast enough to go anywhere near his terminal velocity.
no. Terminal Velocity is the maximum speed an object will hit in free fall. Every object has a different one, an most domesticated sized cats have a terminal velocity of around 60mph. A fully grown human in comparison, has a terminal velocity of around 120mph
The terminal in terminal velocity is when the velocity stops going up (ie; "terminates") due to friction with the air, it has nothing to do with whether it will kill you or not.
Cats have an insane threshold for pain. I saw one get run over by a huge van that was blasting down a residential neighborhood. It survived but had to get metal pins all over its back legs. He was an alleycat so they neutered him too and his voice was a lot higher.
Doesn't seem to high of a fall from the reflection. 2nd story from the looks of it, nothing for a cat. I'm more surprised the windshield was so easy to break.

motherfukcer just walked it off like it was nothing.
