A5 2 Harry Potter: Could a muggle survive quidditch?

Abstract

We explore the feasibility of a muggle, who is a non-magical person, surviving a high-speed broomstick flight in the game quidditch (a fictional game), focusing on the Firebolt model, known for its maximum speed reaching 150 mph. The straight-line acceleration was found to exert a force of 0.68 G on the rider. However, a turn with a 5 metre radius to the right would require a banking angle of 89.38° and cause 92.42 G force on the rider. These extreme forces would result in catastrophic physical harm.
