From Emergency Room statistics, the Life-or-Death 50% distance over water is 90 feet, independent of how the person fell into the water or the type of person who fell into the water. I use the acronym LD for Life-or-Death whereas in some circles it's referred to as Lethal Dose. Anyway, it's 30 feet over concrete.
for Calvin's benefit, I assume the above means that 50% of the people
admitted to an emergency room after having fallen 90ft into water die.
the emergency room statistics are just that
they do not take into account the people who do not get injured, or get injured but do not make it to the emergency room, or die but do not make it to the emergency room
please correct me if I've gotten this wrong
I can see that.
because if that is true, me and 3 of my MN boys need some scientific testing, and to bust out our contracts with satan, cause we have the best luck of anyone. I bet me and those kids have 200 80-90'rs, the only injury i ever saw was a fat 45 year old lady, (that i know well) she enterered the water about 20 degrees head back, and came up with bruises that appeared so fast, it was scary. LP hospital sees a lot of that we found out.
