| Apr 25, 2015 at 20:31 | comment | added | Ramiro | yeah, you're right guys, I forgot about the propulsion effect if he punches the stone fast enough. If MC is some kind of superhero this would be possible. I supposed that the mc was a regular human, that's why I asked for more info :P | |
| Apr 25, 2015 at 17:06 | comment | added | user8827 | @eharper, MC would have to react fast enough to obtain a reaction mass, and blast it down with superhuman force to rocket upwards. Honestly if this guy is that awesome, he's either the flash or a super saiyan, and the falling bridge problem is a bit trivial. | |

Sure, he would set the atmosphere on fire, but he could freely propel himself in any direction by conservation of momentum. Heck, he might even be able to swim up the air. | |
