Why is falling on a floor with more give less dangerous than falling on a floor with less give?
When a person (or any object) falls on a floor, the damage is usually caused by rapid deceleration. When the floor has more give, the object will decelerate more slowl Another Answer: Newton's first law of motion tells us that any object in motion tends to want to stay in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force. In the case of people falling, injuries occur from deceleration because not all parts of the body stop at once. The leading parts of the body, usually extremities, contact the floor first, followed by the core of the body, and then followed by the internal organs colliding with one another and against the outer structures. Energy left over from the falling motion is either turned into heat, or reflected back into the falling body, causing further injury as structures and organs get jostled around. When falling to a floor that has "give" to it, this means that the floor can flex when explosed to the energy of a falling body, and dissipate some of that energy, slow deceleration, and reducing the likelihood of injury. The amount of energy is determined by both the mass of the person falling, and the speed at which he or she is falling, so after a certain point, even a floor with "give" is not going to flex enough to avoid significant, likely fatal injury.
What might you see feel and hear if you were wathching a tornado take place?
If you were watching a tornado out would most likely see a rotating cloud cloud, wider at the top than the bottom extending toward the ground from a thunderstorm. The clouds around this will be rotating as well. as the ground you may see a swirl of dust and debris. You would likely hear the wind blowing, perhaps rain falling, and the occasional crash of thunder. You may even hear the roar of the tornado itself, which has been described as sounding light a freight train or jet engine. If you were outside you would likely feel the wind blowing and the rain falling. If the tornado were dangerously close, you might feel you ears pop from the low pressure.

Which brain structure would most likely result in death if damaged?
The brain stem is the structure that is most likely to cause death if injured. It connects the brain to the rest of the nervous system, and also regulates functions like breathing, so an injury to it is almost certainly fatal.
What is likely the definition of mauled?
injured by beating
Which people are most likely to get injured?
spastics
Is a meter the length of my arm?
Not if you are a normal human being. The distance from the fingertips of your outstretched arm to somewhere on the opposite collarbone is likely to be nearer a metre.
What happens when a tornado hits a person?
Assuming the person is in the open and unprotected the person may be blown over or picked up and thrown. He or she may also be hit be flying debris. However, in most cases a person will be in some sort of structure. In most cases the structure will remain intact, thus protecting people inside from serious injury or death(though there are exceptions). In cases where the structure sustains major damage or is destroyed, a person inside by be struck by flying or falling objects, and may even be carried away. The worse damage a tornado does to a structure, the more likely it is that someone inside will be killed or injured.
