Therefore, in order to reduce g-loads you need to spread the impact over time and space. You could employ two mechanisms used by Mars landers: Rockets to brake you before impact, and an airbag mechanism. | |

They don't make you invulnerable to such things, but it's considered much, much better than nothing. | |

| Mar 25, 2020 at 10:51 | comment | added | Li Jun | cant you just make the force absorbent armor as inner armor while wearing the plate as outer armor or vice versa ? like gambeson wear inside chainmail or plate or the vice versa with plate armor under surcoat or jupon ? | |

science-based almost preclude any answer but "It's not the fall that kills you, it's the landing"
