  1. 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.

  2. Cultural respect diversity tolerance Is it something that applies ONLY to one side? If it's mutual, no one has to find another pool just because I am swimming with my lot. So, there is "Cultural respect diversity tolerance" only to one party - the other has to move on? WHY?
