How High In The Air Are Ski Jumpers? |
|
Answer» Myth: Ski JUMPERS fly up to 30 feet above the ground. Fact: We're actually much lower to the ground. The AVERAGE height above the ground during a jump RANGES from 10-15 feet and follows the contour of the hill, thus the impact of up-landing on a slanted surface is not as INTENSE as one might think.
