Must be a U-shaped curve of survival rate versus drop height.
- kadoban 3y agoRealistically it's more of a rounded L shape. Once you reach terminal velocity, you're not getting any more energy. Then all you need is to get really lucky and/or hit something relatively soft, like grass on some less-dense ground.
- CharlesW 3y agoAlso, how it lands (corner-first or not) and what it lands on (concrete or tile vs. dirt with ground cover) makes a huge difference.
- lxgr 3y agoIt's well established that intermediate fall heights are the most dangerous, since the phone doesn't have enough time to rotate into the optimal landing position and brace for landing. Or was that for cats?
- pantalaimon 3y agoIt takes the phone some time to switch into airplane mode and deploy the landing gear.
