[QUOTE="Pulp, post: 2414113, member: 14195"] How far would a person have to fall to have an impact speed of 8mph? I do the 5 minutes safety talk at work every shift. Our lift trucks are governed to 8mph, so I was doing examples of how fast 8mph really is, like most folks can easily run 8mph, so run face first into a tree and you'll see how fast 8mph really is. Then I said 8mph is the speed you'd be going if you fell from 15 feet, but I'm not sure that is correct. I just don't have the math skills to put all them letters and symbols on a chalk board and come up with the real distance you'd have to fall to have an impact speed of 8mph. [/QUOTE]
