"Welcome back, folks, you're just in time to see our next competitor take the ledge."
"And this should be a good one, Norm-our youngest so far today. At 26, Kenneth Price is an early departure-but considering the past few days, it's no surprise."
"That's absolutely correct, Barbara-to kick things off a few days ago, his wife of two years left him-because she blamed him for the death of their infant son."
"Ouch, that is rough, Norm-and you're forgetting the kicker here: the fact that she's pressing charges against him for negligence-and her uncle is one of the most powerful criminal prosecutors in the region."
"Lost his young child, lost his wife in the worst way possible, and possibly about to lose his freedom, not to mention career-looks like his whole life has pretty much gone down the toilet, Barbara...let's see what he's got for us."
"He's taking his position on the ledge...he's checking the room behind him...can we zoom any closer, Bill? Oh! There we go...and yes, we have tears-just a few-he's trying very hard to keep his composure...and he's pulled it open all the way now, Norm."
"Yes, Barbara, as you can see, he was daunted by the wind at first-after all, this is a 23rd floor attempt-but now he's moved past it and pulled himself up into his final stance."
"Now, Norm, considering the situation, I think we can count upon seeing at least a double flail, and with his figure, a triple wind-flip could also probably be expected-we've seen larger men put in quads."
"That's right, we have, Barbara-now a notice to our viewers, the latest odds have just come in and it is 4:7 that we'll be getting a face-down landing-the lines are open, all bets are good right up until the second he leaves the ledge, get yours in now!"
"And it looks like we're just about there, Norm-he's leaning forward...he takes a small step...he's moved his left hand to grasp the corner of the building...and...he's hesitating...he may be reconsidering...Bill, can we get-oh, and he's off!"
"Yes, there he goes, Barbara, we have a double...triple flail!"
"And there's the first flip-the wind sure is hitting him hard-second, third, fourth! Fifth!"
"Quintuple wind-flip, Barbara-we've never seen that before!"
"That's right, Norm...and he's into the final stages of the fall, and appears to have lost consciousness...and...he's down!"
"And it appears that he's landed on...his side! Well, someone will be making good money this afternoon, Barbara."
"I'll say, Norm...I'm just getting the final statistics from our ground team...it looks like we have a 6 and a half metre splatter from the head, and a surprisingly long fall time at 14.7 seconds."
"Certainly a remarkable display, Barbara...and it looks like we're just out of time. For all you viewers, thanks for joining us today. I'm Norm White, for Barbara McDade, we'll see you all next time."

Good concept.
Bad physics.
14.7 secs of fall time is around 1800 feet (well over the 100th floor). 10secs for the first 1000 feet 5.5 secs per 1000 after.
(Skydiver/BASE jumper: I know my fall times...842 feet is 8.2 secs of freefall from the road to the river at the New River Gorge Bridge in West Va.)

Please rate honestly, of course. I mean, everyone likes +2s, but good feedback is just as nice as jizz all over my face.

OoooKAY!! Jizz on yer face is not the operative term here. The +2 Igave you is simly because I liked the post. Nothing else. D-Prime +2ed you,(I think), so that probably
means Jack Shit. . .. .. .. .. . . ..

Scott, I want to keep you on my side on here, but I really don't see why everyone is jizzing over this.

I didn't read this and I'm not interested at all. Go back to yelling about dumb university students.
However, have a +2, because I'm sure it's better than anthing else on Ubersite.
