I'm not sure 20mph is correct. The POH says it's the equivalent of being dropped from 10 feet. It's not something I want to experience but it doesn't really sound that bad.

> The POH says it's the equivalent of being dropped from 10 feet. A fall of 10 feet puts you at ~17 mph when you hit. 20mph is a good approximation.
