Nelson and Timothy D. Snowden The physical characteristics of various falls and associated CALCULATIONS related to fall dynamics and force of impact (potential severity) illustrate the critical importance of fall prevention and the use of various fall protection control structures, devices, and activities. VELOCITY UPON IMPACT (v) v = (vo2 + 2gs)1/2 or 2gs)(vv2o+= where: v = velocity upon impact (ft/s) vo = initial velocity (ft/s) g = acceleration due to gravity ( ft/s2 ) s = distance of the fall (ft) RATE OF DECELERATION (a) 2dva2= where: a = rate of deceleration (ft/s2 ) v = the velocity at the point of impact (ft/s) d = deceleration distance (ft) G-FORCE (G) (Conversion of rate o)
