Collectively, we just asserted that "ejecting from an airplane is similar to falling on the ground from 6 feet". This doesn't sound right. Surely pilots who eject go through harder stuff than falling on the ground.
- GekkePrutser 4y agoThere's a big difference between something hard like a watch falling on a hard surface, to this happening to a human. We have a lot of padding that distributes the force. A watch does not so the G-force is shorter and sharper. A 6-foot fall is nothing to laugh at by the way. I think it might be similar in terms of G-force, just momentarily while an ejection seat will have a longer boost duration.
