Yes. Even high speed motor accidents too has this effect, which I heard a long time ago when an expert made a presentation. There’s an old joke that “it’s not the fall that kills you; it’s the sudden stop at the end.” In terms of actual physics, that’s the truth: as something falls, it accelerates according to gravity’s pull. The more time spent accelerating, the more potential energy generated in the fall. At the moment of impact, all of the force generated in the fall is exerted by the falling object into the ground, and then that force is reciprocated into the falling object at the point of contact. That reciprocated force is what inflicts serious injury or fatality on a human body. Understanding the physics of the collision helps us understand why height is a key factor, but it helps us understand two other key factors: the rate of acceleration and the hardness of the ground.

The payer and payee are of the same calibre, IMHO. So the "norm here" would apply to the other country where the payer learnt his trade, isn't it?

What's up with the Chinese, Indians & the Russians? Time up they pulled up their socks and joined the game. They are far behind, already! The 'quality tourist' thingy is changing.

Great to hear of a Bank acting ethically, instead of charging their customers at every turn.

Instead of TiT can we say TiF for a change?

Can I join you in your free time to keep you company and help you spend that USD 700,000/- ? Anyone with a tidy sum can be a dear friend, I guess.

Rishi Sunak and Keir Starmer are on a plane, Sunak looked at Starmer, chuckled and said, "You know, I could throw £1,000 out of the window right now and make somebody happy." Starmer shrugged his shoulders and replied, "I could throw twenty £50 notes out of the window and make twenty people happy" Hearing… their exchange, the pilot said to his co-pilot, I could throw both of them out of the window and make 64 million people very, very happy!"
