It's flattering that you think an engineer might be able to contribute to this, but in my experience, very few engineers do any engineering. They pay a drafter and modeller to do the maths, then pay a manufacturing company to make stuff. Sometimes we might approve invoices? Or offer some comment in passing on the colour of a design. But no, I've got no real idea of how the forces might play out in a fall. I'd just design a test rig and see what happens. |
