Survivability VS landing speed
"cavelamb himself" wrote in message ink.net... wrote: Its true that collision energy is proportional to relative speed squared. But if on landing you don't collide with anything (or flip over, etc.) you should have a good chance not getting hurt. Just like cars spinning out of control, they are ok if they don't bump into anything - roll over, etc. Loss of control during takeoff is more problematic. There typically you don't have room to "slide" on the runway but bump into trees, housing or whatever. The othe important facetor is angle of impact... Actually it is how quickly you stop...
