I RETIRED FROM A 32 YEAR CAREER AS A PROFESSIONAL SAFETY, HEALTH, & HYGIENE ENGINEER. TAUGHT THOUSANDS OF WORKERS FROM COAST TO COAST TO VOID THE "BIG FALL" AT ALL COSTS.

THE HUMAN BODY WILL ALWAYS ATTEMPT TO FALL HEAD-FIRST. TOTAL FALL DISTANCE IS MEASURED FROM THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD, NOT THE SOLES OF YOUR FEET. IMPACT WITH THE GROUND OR CONCRETE IS MEASURED IN "POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH"---FROM 10' OFF THE GROUND, A 200 POUND PERSON WILL IMPACT WITH APPROXIMATELY 2000 POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH.

QUESTION: THINK YOUR HEAD & NECK CAN HANDLE THAT MUCH FORCE, MR. "I DON'T NEED NO STINKING FALL HARNESS" !!!! PROMISE YOU WILL DIE, BE A VEG, OR A QUAD-PARA FOR THE REMAINDER OF YOUR LIFE.

WITHOUT GETTING INTO A LOT OF HEAVY MATH & PHYSICS, HERE IS A QUICK & EASY FORMULA TO REMEMBER: 'BODY WEIGHT x TOTAL FALL DISTANCE = YOUR SPLAT FACTOR IN POUNDS PER SQUARE INCH.
