Would the Demolition Man become the Demolished Man?
Abstract
In the 1993 film Demolition Man, starring Sylvester Stallone, the main character falls from a helicopter suspended by a wire of steel. The fall would generate a G-force of 14.03G and since the wire is attached to his waist it would most likely be terminal but a further, more in depth look into the problem is required.
