Re: [ST] for Marc -



this is true - but it's the kinetic energy you store in the acceleration
phase that you have to dissipate somehow. a simple high side will generate
[your weight times the max height of the center of mass plus the energy of
your forward motion]. that's a lotta foot pounds... and you may not have the
option of doing a Pete Rose landing.

I also thought it was pointless to debate the comparative rate of
acceleration towards the ground. That's not what hurts. It's the
deceleration once you hit something that makes you go ?@!#%  and breaks
things.>
