Okay, if you're not looking to waste your time, go back to forum list.

DS7 last night told me how to protect myself in a plane crash. He said as the plane is approaching the ground, walk out on the wing, and at the last second jump off. I tried to say that whether or not I was on the wing I would be falling with the same velocity as the plane and I couldn't just jump off, and if I did, I'd land just as hard, but I was foundering in my explanation. Ignoring the practicalities (of the ensuing explosion, the inability to walk on the wing of a falling plane, etc.), can some of you math/science types tell me why? Thanks.
