Consider dropping from the tallness of a moderate sized building onto hard, stuffed snow. What might happen to your legs?

Regardless of whether you endure, the bones in your legs most likely wouldn’t. So for what reason doesn’t that happen to ski jumpers or, considerably more incredibly, free-form skiers amid the “aerials” occasion?

Here’s the way the aerials work: Skiers slip at fast down a precarious incline, speed up a slope and dispatch themselves — almost vertically — into the air, tumbling and playing out a progression of shocking flips. At that point they arrive on two skis on hard-stuffed snow and slide to a stop, simple peasy.

“On the off chance that you consider when you complete a hop — or basically any article that we toss or dispatch into the air — you pursue this allegorical direction,” Gbur told Live Science.It turns out that the secret to arriving with your appendages unblemished is that the aerials hops and arrivals aren’t impeccably vertical, said Greg Gbur, an educator of material science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

A parabola is a symmetrical bend — soak on account of aerials jumpers, long and shallow on account of the ski bounce.

“You plan the [landing] incline so the skiers descending are fundamentally descending on a slope that pursues that illustrative direction,” Gbur said. “When they’re first landing, they’re pretty much going a similar way that gravity needs to take them.”

In the event that you fell straight down, the hard ground would stop your fall at the same time. The serious power of that fierce deceleration, circulated unevenly over your body, would crush it to bits.

However, arriving on the incline, while likely not delicate, includes a much slower change in force for the skiers.

“The incline is kind of following a similar way that they’re as of now going, so they take the effect steadily, as the bend of the slant bit by bit ends up level,” Gbur said.
