Acceleration due to gravity is indeed a constant, but one has to assume that Yuri's body would provide some form of air resistance which would slow the process!

Perhaps.

But if he were to fall, as if an accident, one would assume that - given enough distance - he would reverse pinwheel himself into a vertical position in an attempt to spare his own life by absorbing the impact with his legs. But we all know this would compact his spine on impact, causing paralysis if not outright death.

This is getting into some seriously complicated shit that I have really not had enough coffee yet today to try and figure into an equation.

Assuming a pin wheel type descent, that would then require multiple reiterations and calculations of exact surface area being exposed to the effects of air resistance, and would end up being quite complicated!

So perhaps it would be best to just observe the death, take the time, measure the height, and calculate the differences between ideal acceleration and observed acceleration.

Liam impressed everyone with:

No, no, only partial pinwheel. The natural response is to flail one's arms until you orient yourself in a familiar position; most often vertically, feet to the floor. But doing this, as opposed to falling in a horizontal position, severely decreases his resistance.

Then again, if we're using a building any way shy of a skyscraper I can't imagine these minute variables having more than a negligible affect on the outcome of his rate or length of descent. What would affect the outcome is his departure from the rooftop. If he were running or otherwise propelled, he would have more forward momentum and initial resistance to overcome before falling.

In short, no matter how we do this: Yuri be fucked.

Since the thread has seemingly gotten away from flaming, I'll leave it unlocked.

Keep it that way. I'd like to have a multi-page thread that ISN'T about making someone feel like shit for once.

So, anywho, welcome to EC, Burori. ^.^

And to think, this is one of the nicer welcomes we've had for a n00b as of recent times.
