If you look closely, there is no beach.

[–] django@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Beach got cancelled due to climate change raising the sea level.

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 1 week ago

The woke mob is pouring trillions of liters of water into the ocean to deceive people into thinking climate change is real

They sold it

I would think it would be closer to 12-15 seconds, however it depends on many factors. The size and structure of the human matters a lot when considering the speed at which they roll.

I just don't think this person is considering these things. Are they even serious about this sale?

[–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're assuming that you're falling down the stairs, and not just free falling over the ledge.

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh no I'm considering the side, however we also need to consider that it is not going to be entirely smooth, there will be small bumps to provide some short-lived aerial velocity, however there may also be angled protrusions causing a directional drift to slow the person down further.

The way the person initially falls could also contribute, whether they're upright, trying to land on their feet at first, or simple falling to the side, or backwards, etc.
As the bones break they can break in positions which could affect the direction they continue to roll, if they hit the angled protrusions mentioned earlier, and possibly even latch for a moment.

If they're going at a slow speed, perhaps they can make a guess towards a small bump to increase the time spent airborne? This may speed things up but the air friction may play a role in how long the person stays up there (large or slim).

I'm thinking about this a bit too much.

600 minutes if you have had a few beers.

[–] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This has nothing on Kelingking Beach in Indonesia. Gorgeous place but the hike down to beach is insane.

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Beautiful beach & water tho

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

The house certainly isn't 5 minutes from the beach, the beach might be 5 minutes from the house though.

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago

That would be a suicidal axle grind.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

Since you're going to eat like you're on vacation, you need to exercise to match.

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I can do this faster w/ a rail grind... and die.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Imagine sliding down that rail.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 8 points 1 week ago

The friction will make ya pay for it

[–] TheGiantKorean@lemmy.today 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Say bye bye to your perineum.

[–] PabloSexcrowbar@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

Meh, I've been trying to get rid of that thing for ages anyway. Taint all it's cracked up to be.

[–] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you ignore air resistance, that's about 320 meters, from s=at^2^/2, a=g=10, t=8

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You're not falling straight down though.

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Don't tell me what I can't do

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Go ahead build a ramp just so you can fall off it for 320m

[–] SippyCup@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

That's the spirit

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 1 points 1 week ago

I think that a Wizard Pope is one of the only people who can tell you what to do! 😜 Abra-ca-FALL-DOWN!

[–] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

These stairs look so steep I deem it a good enough approximation, given I've already rounded g to 10

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

If you rounded g down you might have been closer with the fact they are stairs.

[–] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Are we assuming repeatedly hitting the stairs?

I've always considered vertical and horizontal movement separately, so I thought I'd have to add even more to the approximated traveled road, not decrease it.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Let us approximate stairs with a regular slope. Assume rolling down the stairs with minimal aditional horizontal movement other than the slope itself.

[–] Gutek8134@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Ohhh, right, the ground will apply the upwards-sideways reaction force

[–] OozingPositron@feddit.cl 5 points 1 week ago

You would have some amazing glutes though.

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

Beach? Looks like a rocky ass waterfront.

[–] decolo@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Who's going to geolocate this?

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 3 points 1 week ago

Unskippable legday.

[–] dorumon@lemmy.cafe 3 points 1 week ago

I've actually been to this exact location before to visit a family member.

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

I got vertigo just looking at this picture.

[–] webp@mander.xyz 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You bet I am engineering some type of sled with a breaking system that (hopefully) won't kill me.

[–] OryxAndCake@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

All you need is some thick jeans and a pair of gardening gloves, then hook a knee over each rail, hold on and pray nobody starts climbing up without looking, as they're about to get teabagged at mach fuck otherwise.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 2 points 1 week ago

What if I jump

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

That is so nice while going down, and such a horror when having to go back up

A staircase like that is a PITA, not an addition to a home

[–] Cellari@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I like it when I have options
