Don’t panic.</b> As Brown says, “Gravity does what gravity does, you know?” <b>2. Pick a good landing spot.</b> Trained BASE jumpers and skydivers can survive free falls of 100 feet, if they hit mud or a slope. If you’re falling from less than 100 feet, you can aim for water (any higher and surface tension makes hitting water feel like slamming into concrete). <b>3. Spread the impact.</b> Brown turned in midair and absorbed the impact with his feet, then rolled across his back. Such a maneuver is the best way to turn vertical momentum horizontal. <b>4. Be tough as nails, lucky, or Australian.</b> From a height of 50 feet, you quickly accelerate to 30 miles per hour — so fast, as one expert puts it, you’re lucky if your internal organs stay in place on impact…</p>http://bornofanatombomb.tumblr.com/post/288260045http://bornofanatombomb.tumblr.com/post/288260045Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:11:53 -0500Way of the Dodo<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CTeXKHkNqgk&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CTeXKHkNqgk&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Jake Brown survives a 50ft fall.</p>http://bornofanatombomb.tumblr.com/post/288246752http://bornofanatombomb.tumblr.com/post/288246752Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:02:00 -0500Way of the Dodo<img src="http://15.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kut1fiH0za1qztcxpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Ginza window display.
