Random, but is it true..

['Conor]

Is it true that if you drop a coin from a tall building it will kill someone if it hits them on the head??


:conf:

[AJ.]

Nah don't think so, it should hit terminal velocity pretty soon so doesn't really matter if it's dropped for 100metres vs miles, it will be traveling roughly the same speed.

[GypsyGoth]

Nope, they tested it on mythbusters once, and they said the wind slows it down, so it wouldn't kill a person.

But maybe if it was a huge coin it would :laugh:

['Conor]

but would it seriously injure someone then?

[Jords]

Are you planning something? :evilgrin:

['Conor]

Are you planning something? :evilgrin:

sssh ;)

[AJ.]

but would it seriously injure someone then?

Apparently it wouldn't be traveling fast enough to even break the skin.

[Benjamin]

It was rumoured that if you drop one from the Eiffel tower it would kill somebody but I'm not sure how true that is. Something bigger would, but I coin is quite light.

['Conor]

then why did someone make it up then :joker:

Also it's really strange with an american voice over guy.

oh cool ! imagine it if was true and someone was killed.

Cause of death: Killed by falling coin.

['Conor]

thanks for the vid :D

[Ninastar]

what if you dropped a pin

[Jords]

or a £2 coin

[GypsyGoth]

or a shark.

['Conor]

im sure it would depend what way the pin would land, as it would swirl in the air.

but if it landed like with pointy bit 1st i'm sure it would pierce skin

[Benjamin]

or a shark.

:laugh:

-imagines Claudia testing that theory out-

[Benjamin]

It would land with the pin sticking up due to gravity so the pointy bit wouldn't hit you. :)

[GypsyGoth]

:laugh:

-imagines Claudia testing that theory out-

:eureka:

I'd get the shark drunk first so I wouldn't get bitten.

ah i see! i will remember that the next time i try to kill someone

[Marsh.]

[joeysteele]

I think it would hurt obviously,the smallest pebble can hurt if thrown far and strong enough,it really would likely depend where it hit on the head, it may be possible to cause some haemmorhage that could result in being injured or killed as a freak sort of accident.
Very interesting topic.

Hope no one tries it though.

['Conor]

id be tempted to try it but never would.

[Ninastar]

[joeysteele]

I think you are being very wise there 'Conor.

['Conor]

:D

[MTVN]

I'd always thought this was true actually, I've heard that dropping a pea of the Eiffel Tower could kill someone as well but I doubt that

baha! i can see it now in the newspapers "Woman, 27, killed by pea in Paris"

[Locke.]

The middle picture is the best. But the one on the far right is even better in that Wild Chick film

[Kerry]

People always get twonked on the head by falling crap. So, doubtful
