Would you die if you were superglued to the bridge surface and

If the impact didn't kill you you'd drown, so yes.

>>9155589
but it's special glue that dissolves with seawater

>>9155591
You'd still drown unless you're an Olympic swimmer

>>9155586
Well yeah, the shock when you hit the water would be like hitting concrete.

>>9155593
but you're not the direct point of contact

>>9155594
all that matters is how fast your speed changes. being attached to concrete wont make a difference

>>9155594
Wouldn't change anything, you'd still feel the shock of the sudden deceleration.

>>9155594
That doesn't negate the lethal ~100g acceleration

You guys have ruined OPs weekend

OP you are probably autistic. Otherwise you would be thinking about useful things instead of this brain gum.

>>9155586
>>9155599
OP wants epic troll thread on /sci/?
Try again on /b/ OP.

>>9155594
Exactly, same reason why it's impossible to be injured in a car accident

>>9155592
l'm fairly sure you would not.

>>9155751
Not right away, but you would tire out before you got anywhere close to the shore; and falling into the water that fast, even without normal surface tension, would impede you considerably.

>>9155594
Technically this is what you could do to minimize the damage you'd take from, say, riding in a falling elevator. But if you're up high enough, it doesn't matter how much of your body's surface absorbs the impact. It's gonna turn you into hamburger.

>>9155599
>>9155632
You would be shocked (SHOCKED!) at how many people get this wrong outside of /sci/. It's a legitimate conundrum for most people.

Not him, but...
The bridge is only 8981' (2737 meters), and some of that is over land.
Assuming no hindrance from currents, that's well under a mile to shore.
In Boy Scouts,we used to do a mile swim every year.
If you weren't seriously injured from the fall, swimming to shore will be hard, but not a death sentence.
Let's not forget, you could presumably float until rescue arrived.

>>9155594
it's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden change in direction

>>9155810
>Assuming no hindrance from currents
You assume wrong

>The strait is well known today for its depth and powerful tidal currents from the Pacific Ocean. Many small whirlpools and eddies can form in its waters

Also the water is quite cold. About 60F/16C at the most.

>>9155592 is probably right
