Dark Knight Rises SPOILER ALERT: How does Bruce Wayne NOT break his back after taking a factor 1 fall???
|
Just watched the Dark Knight Rises. Clearly, the most unbelievable, physics defying/important scene to deconstruct in the movie is how Bruce Wayne, after dislocating a vertebrae in an earlier fight with Bane, manage to not re-injure his back when he takes a 20ft factor 1.1 fall on a hemp rope tied around his body with some sort of bowline knot? |
|
Haha I guess the answer is that it's from Hollywood :) |
|
dude he is a freakin Batman! thats why! I want a helmet like he has now. |
|
I suppose its the same way that they can blow up the middle of a bridge and both side remain intact. WTF!? Even more out of touch with reality than the roped fall. |

His belayer was terrible. |

he has that cool belt with all the gizmos, yet Alfred can't outfit him with a decent climbing harness ? how sad... |
|
Wasn't he top roping though? Could have tied in and climbed the other side of the rope. |

Plenty of good static moves to the ledge... |

Why not bring a second piton and place it high above the ledge right before the jump, so if you miss the dyno you take a top-rope fall (or a short lead fall) as opposed to a massive pendulum factor 1. 3) Dynamic belay anyone? 4) Why is he jumping for a ledge rather than just using all the cobblestone jugs to climb to it?It is a movie, they are not climbers. That segment was probably shot in a studio on a green screen. |

I'm pretty good on a green screen. |

Funny I just watched that the other day and thought the same thing! But it's A) Hollywood and B) HE'S THE BATMAN! |

Obviously because the bowline absorbed all the shock. That's why everyone should use the bowline. |
