Sorry, but that was not an Airplane! reference. This comment by linuxamp merely made you think of the Airplane! scene where the lead actress inflates the autopilot by blowing on the tube at his belt, making it look like she's going down on an inflatable dummy.

Thanks for playing "Airplane! reference or not Airplane! reference," and we'll see you next week.]]>Sep 25th 2008 3:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/wearable-airbags-keep-the-elderly-from-hitting-the-ground-so-har/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/wearable-airbags-keep-the-elderly-from-hitting-the-ground-so-har/

The bowling ball will drop first. The fact that objects of varying size fall at the same rate is a statement about the constant of gravity. The feather may be lighter, but it also shaped in such a way as to increase drag and thus slow descent. Drop an 8 pound bowling ball and a 16 pound bowling ball from the Tower of Pisa, where the Cd of each object is identical to the other (both are, in theory, smooth spheres) and they will reach the ground at the same time. But a bowling ball and a feather? The bowling ball wins, not because of weight, but because of air resistance.]]>Sep 25th 2008 12:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/wearable-airbags-keep-the-elderly-from-hitting-the-ground-so-har/http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/wearable-airbags-keep-the-elderly-from-hitting-the-ground-so-har/
