Reality check: infalling bombardment from rings around Earth, would the planet still be inhabitable?
Interesting. I am considering some impactors one or two orders of magnitude more massive to also fall every so often. I see crossing the equator might not be impossible, but would still put people in high risk of death.

@ash I mean upon hittong the ground (or bursting within the lower atmosphere), I will edit to clarify.

@KerrAvon2055 the system could be stable for dozens of millions of years, I am not worried about how long it lasts. I will edit to clarify.

@GaultDrakkor no - the other question's only only answer mostly assumes an icy ring, with a sidenote for a rock dust alternative that is much thinner than what I assume here. I am starting by affirming that we have a case with a severe rain of heavy chunks that hit the ground.

Reality Check - Collision of a Moon prevented by turning it into a ring
@antares I don't know... Whatever protoplanet became the asteroid belt was also made of rock. I think the Moon would break apart, not in so many fine pieces such as Saturn's rings, but into asteroid sized pieces.
