You hit a mesh fence at 300kph, naked. What would happen?

if you took half a second to stop, you'd be 20 m behind the fence (150 km/h = 41.667 m/s) so you need to revise that half a second estimate.

When i was a fireman i went to a bike incident where a guy had mannaged to drop a wooden telephone pole with his bike. Thats a huge amount of force being generated there. My vote is that you would go through the fence if it was nice and tight, also i would recomend ducking oposed to a more upright riding position. But what if the fence was slack/loose? hmmmmmmmm

[Bend-it]

if it was loose, you'd go right through it, wake up the next morning and not even remember its name!

If it was normal construction, steel pole in the ground w/ concrete and netting attached w/ those little staples, lets say the wire was behind the poles so you could tear the wire off the poles fairly easily I recon the wire would hold up. (someones gonna math ninja me down, I feel it).

You could measure the surface area of the wire divided by the force to see if it would cut and it would be reasonable to say you could do a scale test with some pork belly and some #8 to see if it would cut you.

You'd have to also measure the decelleration to see how blended your grey soft bits would be once you'd stopped.

BAGS NOT!!
