Why are bicycle helmets important?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Kinda-sorta.

Serious head injuries from casual, utility minded bicycling are quite rare.

OTOH even minor head injuries aren't much fun. And for what they cost and the effort it takes to wear them, they offer good protection against the most common kinds of bicycle accidents.

What depth of water is safe to jump into from a height of 100 feet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No depth of water is "safe" to jump into from a height of 100 feet. Ignoring air resistance, after a fall of that distance you will be traveling 80 feet per second, or about 55 miles per hour. Landing at the wrong angle could cause serious injury or death.

I've looked for guidelines relating minimum water depth to dive height (assuming a trained diver who knows how to hit the water and how to convert downward momentum into lateral motion), but they generally tend to concentrate on the sort of distances used in competition diving, which are closer to 30 feet than 100.

In the show "O" in Las Vegas that features a high-diving segment, the divers dive from 60 feet and the water depth is about 25 feet.

Trained high divers roll once they hit water both because that helps produce a clean entry and to minimize the depth to which they penetrate. If you don't do that but just continue to glide straight down, you will go significantly deeper.

How many people hunt each year?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not many in relation with the Earth's population but in some regions they are majority. Mainly aboriginals and inhabitants of remote regions still use hunting as their main source of food.

Also the bush people of Africa. Most of these groups have a good balance and so do not damage the ecosystem.

The big problems are the humans that hunt for sport. In parts of east Africa they are having a terrible effect. For instance, because 'great white hunters' want to kill elephants with big tusks, there are very few left, which means that the females have to mate with smaller elephants. Also smaller elephants survive to breed. THis means that far from merely killing the big elephants, the evolution of hte elephant is sent into reverse

Can you have a pocket knife in your checked luggage at Kuwait International Airport?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You are allowed to take a pocket knife TO an airport. Heck, if it's in checked baggage, you can take any knife that's otherwise legal to carry up to and including a saber.

What you are prohibited from doing is taking anything sharper than a butter knife (and if security were feeling particularly feisty, even that might be problematic) into the airport security area as carry-on baggage.

That said, it does depend on how vigilant security is and how hard-nosed they want to be. My wife has accidentally taken a pocket knife onboard a plane in her purse several times and only realized it afterwards (usually at the layover, when she goes digging through her purse for the itenerary).

List 5 key safety points or actions when hill walking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

  1. Plan your route and tell someone where you're going, along which route and when you'll be back. Instruct them to contact the emergency services if you have not returned safely or been in contact after a certain cut off time.
  2. Check the weather reports and ensure you are appropriately dressed for the conditions. You should be aware that the weather can change very rapidly in the hills so carry warm and waterproof clothing even if it appears to be a nice day when you set off. Ensure you are wearing suitable foot ware such as a stout pair of walking boots. The RAF and Navy SAR helicopter crews and the Mountain Rescue teams don't necessarily like having to come out to rescue people who have tried to climb a mountain in winter in jeans, a t-shirt and trainers (yes, this has happened).
  3. Ensure you choose a route that is suitable for your level of fitness, skill and experience. A walk that is to physically demanding will put you at risk of injury (potentially requiring rescue) but will also feel like a slog and be much less enjoyable.
  4. Carry a map and compass and make sure you know how to use them. Otherwise they are useless.
  5. Consider carrying a whistle to help attract attention if required, an emergency bivi bag (normally a fluorescent orange plastic water and wind proof bag that can be used as a shelter in an emergency and can be bought for as little as £2), a torch, a mobile phone (even though the signal may be variable, there is a strong probability you will be able to contact the emergency services for help if required).
