You accidentally knock a glass off the table and it is going down at the rate of 9.8 m/s/s and you want to save it before it crushes under its own force and gravity. Your mind tells you that it is impossible to reach it with your hands at any speed so you decide that since your legs are already down there, you would use them to break the fall. Good idea. You however forget to position your metatarsal appropriately to absorb the force and it hits right on the spot! Your neurons immediately transmit signals of a fracture and you have two impulse choices to make; pull your foot up instantly for the touch of comfort and relief, or safely land the glass on the ground and then grit your teeth and handle the pain like a boss. Just remember the whole experience happens in little under 0.4516 seconds. This may be how long you have to save a life…
