🤯 A visual physics lesson at 80 km/h.
Enthusiasts launched a man from a moving truck in the opposite direction - at the same speed the car was traveling.
The experiment spectacularly showed how relative speed works.
@nexta That’s impressive! Logical, but impressive!

@nexta I worry that if I boost, other people might try this!

@nexta this is really cool

Brave man! (even if the physics is correct, you have to trust the machine to work correctly, haha)

I feel like I'd want to have full motorcycle safety gear just in case the velocity didn't match and you wound up unceremoniously yeeted into a slide -

@nexta so this vid is actually interesting?

@nexta It reminds me very much of the classic pendulum experiments where a person releases a pendulum on a long arc and it never hits them because ... pendulum.

@nexta I bet that would be a wild ride, though I would still find a way to bust my butt.

@nexta this marks the end of bus stops.

@nexta That's why if you run to the back of the plane really really fast you drop out of the sky.
As a kid, the cartoon pink panther had this thing where he would step out of the house just before it hit the ground and I spent like half a day figuring out if that would work or not, only to realize it WOULD work if he jumped up at exactly the speed the house was falling when it hit the ground. Alas such a jump was not feasible.@ChuckMcManis @nexta yeah, there's stuff about falling lift/elevator cars and jumping before they hit the ground. Unfortunately, if you're in freefall, you can't jump. Of course, that's besides problems of predicting impact and the car collapsing.

@notsoloud @nexta xkcd relativistic baseball
You do not want to be the relativistic baseball.You don't want to be on the same planet as the relatavistic baseball

well... if you do not move is an important parameter...- YouTube

@GerardThornley @vxo @nexta yes. In that position, if you simply straighten your body you'll be standing up. The entire video is quite interesting. They work themselves up from slow speeds until they get to 80 km/h.

@loke @vxo @nexta I sort of assumed (hoped!) they did a lot of tests so confidence would be high for the high speed run. I must watch the full thing.
TBH, my first thought on seeing this clip was "that's cool! I want a go!" I wonder how long until this is an extreme sport option for visitors to New Zealand?

As soon as you are launched everything apparently shows to a halt and then you just stand up.

@nexta any chance this bot can can include alt text? Are replies monitored?

@nexta Galilean relativity at the finest.
