My normal walking pace is 2 miles/hour (and I don't think I'm slow). That's about 1 yard/second, so 25 seconds at a normal pace, and the article said 'slowly'.

I don't know if they're doing the right thing for the patient or not; just that that was the surprising info in the article, for me.
- morsch 14y ago2 miles per hour is very slow. Average according to Wikipedia is 3.1, a bit more for younger and a bit less for older individuals.
- abecedarius 14y agoHuh. Maybe the discrepancy came out of going by the hour it takes to walk to somewhere 2 miles away in the city, with the taxicab metric plus occasional stoplights mattering more than I thought.
- gjulianm 14y agoI think the slowly refers more to "slower than you'd expect when you have a dead man on the floor".
