Anyone been on the banana boat, on a really choppy day. I tell you its the most fun time to be on a banana boat. It's hilarious when the boat flips as the jet ski turns around!

I do like the maps that have the steep river banks forcing you to leave the river at only one point.
Giving Spec-ops swim fins while severly limited the leg troops is a great idea.
Bridges should be much more valuable.

I see we've moved on to swimming. Well If you truly want to know you don't swim back up with equipment you pretty much do a backstroke (and to most new recruits doing the combat swimming course, it's more of a panicked frantic moving of limbs swim, lol). If you want to make the sf group more realistic then you should have them swim under the water with a rebreather (and if you want to have fun with them, get a little water in the rebreather it will cause a headache followed by some dizziness and eventually a good upchuck). People jump out of helos all the time into the water, (DEVGRU, crazy marines, Coast Guard, etc.)
Having spent a lot of time on the water in multiple capacities I can tell you your not in trouble until your turnin' your pants into a life vest, lol.

uhhhh....no
people run at 6mph I know a girl at my school who can run 10 miles in an hour.
6mph wont knock the wind out of you It wont even phase you 6mph is the speed you hit the water after releasing the rope. 18 might bounce you but your not gunna feel pain. I've taken falls at 25/30 mph full speed and yeah it's kind of unpleasant you skid across the water for a ways but it's REALLY not that bad.
So to me this means you either wake board on ice orrrrr you've never touched a wake board.

6mph is more like power walking tbh.

It slowly melts your skin and makes you cough etc. To avoid these side effects, do not depart from the boat if it is moving as the wake is highly acidic and will kill you.
ahaha have you been drinking boomshine lately. and its water what comes out the back to cool the engine down, not fuel lol.

The average 18 year old man can run 50 meters (about 160 ft) at an average
speed of about 15 mph.

Lol, owned by physics.
m1*vi1+m2*vi2=(m1+m2)vf
Or some such **** like that.

perhaps for when leaving a car at high speed in PR you could have it so we are forced prone to simulate falling over and that causing damage??

you see the ocean is really a solid surface and the acid is used by the transpheric transmogifier to lower the coefficient of drag to a sufficient level that the boat's motor, which runs on 200 proof boomshine, can create the proper thrust against the treadmill hidden below the solid ocean.
Understand now ?

Armed, I'm gonna take your word on that. I don't know of any metal's or acid's other than the piece of zinc on an boat motor, lol.
As to the physics, the true equation to view is simply Impulse = Change in Momentum. It's basically the equation that sums up Newton's 3rd Law and it also shows the force of impact with two objects based on things such as mass.
I don't know about any knocking the wind out of ya, but at 6mph after eating a burrito you might just have some of that silent air, lol
