shame on an IGA posted:yeah all the growth in us vehicle beltlines has been to keep up with trucks ever increasing ground clearance bringing the frame rails right to sedan-driver face height Yeah, but there are more pedestrians in Europe! Wait...

The US is just driving like it plays football - increase the technology for protecting people and compensate by driving and playing more recklessly. Take off the pads in cars and football and see who keeps playing.

Wait, does that graph for the US show the numbers in thousands? So is that 6,529 deaths in 2020 or 6,529,000?

snugglz posted:there certainly are pedestrian safety crumple zones in modern cars — a big reason new cars have such ridiculous proportions that make 19” wheels look “normal” is a side-effect of the hoods now having to be a minimum of 20mm from the top of any “hard point” in the engine bay — but that requires a ton of proportion changes. C&D broke it down here but here’s a TLDR: You're right, it's really just an optical illusion how big American cars are compared to say a citreon. That extra 0.8" in required height really makes a difference!

I thought it was actually pretty difficult to get sucked into an airplane engine, and that depictions of it in cartoons and the like are greatly exaggerated?

This isn't even the first time it's happened. There was a guy who almost got sucked into a military jet quite a while back who got really lucky the intake was only a bit bigger than his body so he wedged in long enough for his helmet to come off and destroy the engine. A commercial jet with exposed blades the size of a man though? Full cartoon.

LOL at this quote from one of the sailors about it: "It took almost three minutes for him to push his way out of the intake after being sucked in. Needless to say, I don’t think he was seen on the flight deck for the rest of the cruise.”

I guess it happening a few weeks into the the air campaign and just days before the ground portion of Desert Storm makes sense.

Yeah, 'mastication' was how they described what happened to the victims of the conveyor when their raft flipped over. That one really stuck with me.

Someone either here or in the ai plane thread once posted a link to a faa full accident report of a ground crew being ingested by a commercial airliner complete with pictures and I regret clicking it to this day.

Harry_Potato posted:It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop at the end... .. and if you’re not slowed into a reasonable means your organs go for a little ride inside you anyways after 7kN of force. So a moderately abrupt stop kills you too when falling. For the thread, this is why fall arrest stuff tears apart in engineered ways to take some of the force out of the user’s fall making it “survivable”. Same goes for the extra stretchy rope for technicians who hang off that equip - the knots cinching up and rope stretching is taking away the initial high forces when the fall gets arrested. I’ve taken a few little slips and it works pretty well as long as you’re not leaving unsafe amounts of slack.
