Does this guy sitting on an overinflated tire take the ride or what?

[Darayavaus]

He's OK right?

 

[65x55guy]

If you watch really slowly you can see his legs as he gets launched over the tank. At the very end the dudes all run around the other side.

I really wish I was better at math. I think he launched right about 25 degrees up. If we knew his weight (150 lbs?) and ballistic coefficient (.15?) we could predict landing spot based on frame rate of video.

Can we predict height by hang time?

Can we predict height by hang time?

These are the exact answers we need in a time like this.

That exact moment you realize that you are no longer going up. There's a feeling of relief. Then the dredded "ohh shit!" the stop at the bottom is going to suck!

Was that not him come running around the backside of that truck, sure looked like he come running around there missing a shoe, like the one that didn’t make the flight.

Old mate was wearing yellow.

This guy comes running around from 50yards down the road.

An instantaneous application of force required to throw a hundred pound man 50 yards is also going to dismember him.

 

[2aBaC̶a̶]

Yeah, they probably found pieces.

 

[forthehunt]

No, he is no longer a member...
And I think Ballistic coefficient of an Indian is probably closer to .08

I'd hate to think what the BC of an American is. :/

I'm sure if it didn't tear him apart it broke major skeletal components like his spine.

I remember as a kid in the 60's watching daily coverage of the Vietnam war on one of the three news networks and it showed a group of VC running away from a fight and a mortar round or a shell from a tank landing right in the middle of them, sending one forty feet in the air. When he landed, he got up running and caught up with his comrades. It illustrated how inhumanely tough those skinny little fucks were.

Hope it wasn't a split rim. If so, he dead fo sho...

It may not be the air expansion that sent old Charlie airborne. It is probably the ground expansion upwards which is significantly less sudden.

In those situations, the inertia can still have wreaked havoc on the organs as the body moves first and the organs, like the occupants of a rocket ship, shifts around at some serious Gs.

Old Charlie, if indeed flying a proper forty feet vertical, would have died from internal injuries shortly after.

He is a dis member .
