I guess I know just a little too much physics.
H = 16t^2. If H=32 ft, 32 = 16t^2 and t= 1.414 seconds.

V = 32t. Plug in t=1.414 to get V = 45 ft/sec, rounded.
45 ft/sec X 1 Mile/5280 ft X 3600 sec/hour = 30MPH, rounded down.

That is how fast your are going if you fall 32 ft! Sort of like jumping off a car going 30 MPH into a nearby wall, covered in soil.

That is why I won't let my son hunt my high stand!
