What would happen if?

[easeup]

no matter what would happen there would be complete disagreement over what happened by all observers

He could could borrow a pole from that Bruce Jenner guy, he's a pole vaulter that no longer uses his pole.

Here is a better question. If everyone was like you thinking up dumb **** to post about, nobody would ever get to read legitimate posts.
Tank up knitting or crossword puzzles to occupy your time.

I'll play.

Some other factors to look at is his height, speed, and vertical. Like another has said, poles are rated at by length, weight, and flex number. You would like to be on a pole 10 to 30 pounds' above your weight to give you the pop off the top.

Next you have to look at the take off angle. Even a small guy with a bad take off angle and a small pole can break one.

Could it happen, sure, but highly unlikely.

Good grief! Looking for a tactical vest as well?! Does anyone know who started that awesome rant thread a year or so ago? It got canned I think.

Knitting is cheap.....Good luck..

What would happen if a 300 lbs man tried to pole vault?

What if every aspect of the pole vault was perfect. Perfect pole, perfect knowledge of how to pole vault, perfect execution.

Would it snap?




Who said the season is over? For some folks, maybe the "season" just began...

How did it turn out for you?

But messing with pybuck on the internet is free!

It is an impossible paradox.

It is two truths which cannot exist simultaneously much the same as the barber paradox or the impossibility of traveling back in time and killing yourself

I’m gonna ponder this, Terry. It may take awhile since my brain does not ponder as fast, or accurately, as it used to do.

Offense would win. Cant defend a perfectly thrown ball even while playing perfect D. Lord please let Dale agree with me!

[Hills of Texas]

Not sure what would happen, but I’d love to kickback and watch the wreck.

Here’s a better question: In football if every offense player executed their position perfectly, and every defense player executed their position perfectly…what would happen?

It is an impossible paradox.

It is two truths which cannot exist simultaneously much the same as the barber paradox or the impossibility of traveling back in time and killing yourself.

It would be about weight and speed at that point. Just math.

pole vaulter would look like a 300# human popsicle.

Math can’t stop an impossible premise.

Next you have to look at the take off angle. Even a small guy with a bad take off angle and a small pole can break one.

It's not about how he would grip it. It's about weight ratios. But it might matter if he were African or European.
