Draft 2/20

I know this isn’t exactly science related but it is related to physics and it was a test that I did. It was on calculating fall damage in fortnite. In fortnite you can building stairs, walls, floors, and pyramids. For my test I used walls to calculate fall damage. The first test I did was three walls up, I walked straight off the side, no fall damage. The first time I experience fall damage was from 3 and ⅔ wall height. The way I got ⅔ of a wall was by using my ability to edit the wall, you can break it into thirds. This first damaging fall dealt 11 damage, which isn’t too significant considering you get 100 health. When you jump from 5 walls high you start to experience significant fall damage, at this height I was dealt 49 fall damage. Jumping from 6 walls high deals 99 fall damage. A death fall would be from 6 and ⅓ walls high. I had a lot of fun figuring this out. I went into playground mode and got a lot of items that I could use to heal before I did the experiment. If anyone does this again and gets different numbers I would be curious to find out what they are.
