| English term or phrase: ...you fell three stories. (in this context) | | This is exactly the situation you face when the front of your car hits something at only 15 miles an hour. The car stops in the first tenth of a second, but you keep on at the same rate you were going in the car until something stops you - the steering wheel, dashboard or windshield - if you´re not wearing your safety belt. Bad enough at 15 miles an hour, but at 30 miles you hit "the wall" four times as hard as you would at 15. Or to put it another way, with the same impact you´d feel as if you fell three stories. |
