Sparky Nelson Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Yeah, that one's going to need some serious cleaning. If I did the math right, that thing fell about 8000 feet. (Although I don't know what the terminal velocity of a tumbling camera is, so it's probably less.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 I didn't do the math, I haven't tried that kind of math since high school. Yes, I am confident it reached terminal velocity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudgeBagodonuts Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I did the math and came up with 14400 feet, but that assumes a fall in a vacuum chamber. If you assume it reached terminal velocity due to wind resistance after a few seconds, the plane was likely less than 2000 feet in the air.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Sort of like the old Timex commercials. "The camera took a licking, but kept on ticking!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus Longshot, SASS #44254 Life Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Kinda reminded me of years ago when I used to crash my dirt bike: sky, ground, sky, ground, etc. Laz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorado Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 If I remember right I think I heard that it was a GoPro camera some skydivers were going to jump with and dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
