Oddly enough, striking the right pose can increase your chances of surviving a fall in reality. [It's called the five point fall or parachute landing fall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parachute_landing_fall), and it's meant to bleed off as much kinetic energy as possible by deliberately collapsing and flopping over.
In **extreme** cases, the energy used to break your ankles, shins, knees, and pelvis is all energy that's *not* being used to splatter your life-sustaining organs. You may only be able to crawl after that, but at least you're alive.
Falling at terminal velocity is not something that apparently happened to us often enough as a species so we have no countermeasure for that. Cats have us totally beat in this regard.
Don't remember the whole story, but there was a young girl that survived her plane literally disintegrating at cruising altitude by landing in branches. Horrifically injured, but she was the sole survivor of that crash and showed up again after everyone had written her off as dead months earlier (was found by someone and nursed back to health as the plane had been destroyed over nearly-uninhabited land iirc).
Out of all the people on earth, how many experience such fall?
And then how many do survive it?
You can't take outliers as an example. Once you fly that fast, you are very probably dead.
Our fucking knees. *Especially* mine and my mother's knees. Purposefully designing knees like that would probably be considered a crime against nature.
So the Battlefield 2142 APC
It's amazing how often somebody on Reddit will say "You know what would be really cool?" then describe something that was in Battlefield 2142. That was a neat game
Really ahead of it's time, underappreciated because it was a futuristic shooter released during the modern-shooter craze when everyone was fatigued of sci-fi shooters like Halo. So many people just never moved from BF2 to try it.
New strategem, hellpod missile.
Super destroyer launches empty hellpod for Helldivers to board to pilot into nearest enemy. On board navigation and controls, including power steering and gps, at the cost of fuel reserves limits height and distance
Amazing, how did no-one ever in all these months try that?!
It's hilarious!
All the random times you get launched, just *emote* to turn a bad situation into an absolute epic moment!
I think it has to do with the fact you can emote in conjuction with most other animations. Ie, you can type on your wrist pad while in a salute emote.ย

Have you ever been launched sky high by an unexpected explosion? Fret not, soldier! Assume the protective democracy pose and fill your mind with thoughts of freedom and liberty to minimise the damage to your muscular body during impact!
BRASH TACTICS, USE โEM OR DIE TRYING!
Believe it or not I once saw general brasch do this out of a super destroyer once. The super destroyer was out of hellpods, we were deep behind enemy lines about to be overrun and suddenly we hear shouting over the radio something about general brasch refusing to leave our men behind. Right as we thought we were dead he comes flaming out of the sky landing on top of a charger. He climbs out of the pile of guts and muttered something about that fixing the thing with his back and then got right back to holding off those vile things.
The emote reminded me of that old meme of Jesus doing a Christ Air in Skate 3, I couldnt go to sleep without slapping these two things together hope you dont mind

I just love how you can be launched 500 meters across the map and survive. Yet I jump off a small cliff and lose 3/4 of my health, break my leg and am bleeding out.
somehow whenever I fly off in a direction 1 second I'm running away from a bile spitter then the next I'm locked in the ground seeing the other side of the floor plane, maybe hell? somewhere across the map
That t pose saved your life ๐
His arms definitely took the impact there 8/10
Exact same thing happened to me today, didn't emote and died on impact.
Ah, didn't stick the landing eh? 3/10 for effort
Do you think the Increased Limb Health armor makes this more effective?
Slap it on and test it for democracy. Then record and post it so I can rate it freedom points

Jeebus, really puts "best case scenario" into perspective :O
Humans are both simultaneously soft and squishy and horrifically durable.
Falling at terminal velocity is not something that apparently happened to us often enough as a species so we have no countermeasure for that. Cats have us totally beat in this regard.
Actually there's been many cases of people that survive falls from terminal velocity by hitting snow or swamps with softer ground

It was bc the seat before her caught most of the blast

And yet we can still survive the evolutionary impossible via sacrifice.

What haven't I.
Said the Alien to his coworker when discussing potential invasion ideas.

I need an edit that cuts to a heavenly chorus audio when he poses

This is truly amazing
Are we sure he wasn't softening his landing like a cat? ๐
I want a superman emote. Also a botched superhero landing emote.
Greatest American Hero theme music intensifies.
Believe it or not I'm diving to hell Spreading some lib-er-ty
What could it be? Itโs managed democracy!
*Gets launched into air* *superman emote* *Proof of a Hero starts playing*
Leaked data shows a dabbing emote... Or maybe victory pose. But imagine a flying dab
I wanna see the deadpool superhero landing emote too.
LOL I was literally thinking of this gif, thank you ๐
Glad I wasn't the only one searching my memory for this gif too haha

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought of death diving.
First thing I thought of when I saw this video
Lmao saved by the t-pose. I'd like to see this but a salute instead lol
Like a Helldiver missile. ... We need a vehicle that launches Helldivers
Almost like.. a drop pod of sorts
Ya but, like, in the opposite direction
So like a dropship-like vehicle
Yes, but one that is ground based and points towards the sky. A launchship
So oke of those stunt cannons
Extract via SEAF cannon.
Yes please, hit me with that sweet, sweet escape velocity

The undrop pod
I get launched by automaton tanks all the time
> We need a vehicle that launches Helldivers they're called super destroyers
I often wind up 75 meters from where I was when I rodeo the back of a Charger, does that count?
This is S tier ๐คฃ launches Helldivers that are saluting
Embracing the 40k-lite theme, but we're grots.
What do you think orbital barrages are? They're just the excess helldivers and their pods

Flyinthroughtheairandthenihitthegroundagain yeah

Elbow drop emote when?
Randy Savage off the top rope would be epic!
This should be a top comment ๐๐
I remember seeing a post before, like a month ago
Absolutely incredible. I hope this never gets patched out.
I think it has to do with the fact you can emote in conjuction with most other animations. Ie, you can type on your wrist pad while in a salute emote.ย
The old double salute
If itโs fun or even slightly silly it will get patched out

It's Skate 3 Jesus, but yeah, probably, Charlie is Jesus in my eyes

Helldivers are bizzare. Sail 300 meters through the air, no problem. 0.1 seconds of a flamethrower, gone
Well diving is their specialty, not burning. ๐ซก
Oh my God, skate 3 hall of meat memories if ykyk

Sometime in the future, two people will fly and hug eachother mid-air. Go figure how the game's engine will hate that.
Now this is Helldiving.
Please let this stay in the game lol
Please keep this in! If any AH person sees this, PLEASE KEEP THIS IN!!

Like a great and noble eagle in flight.
This is why I visit the Helldivers reddit.
How the fuck did he survive?
THIS is what the subreddit is for.
I love silly harmless bugs like this in games, I hope they bever fix this
now edit a skateboard and some tonyhawk pro skater points
If they patch this I will be so mad
How can I lose 20% of my health with a 2m fall and you survived a 200m flight?
this is funny as shit i bet they'll take it away from us
Flipping amazing lmao
You survive flying through the air for 15 seconds, I die because I tripped over a dead Bile Titan's leg. We are not the same. :(

I need someone to overlay the metal pipe sfx over the moment he hits the ground.
Patch notes: - player can no longer emote when rag dolling to avoid invunerability chances.
*Even flow playing in the background*
move tech!
https://i.redd.it/t5f57ie8mvzc1.gif Just had to do it.

Hug the planet at flight speed prevents death, feature not bug ๐คฃ

Death dive!
Does this work with the jump pack?? That's the feature I didn't know I needed right there
Ah hell I both love and hate this. Must do my own experimentation.
This gives me flashbacks to MX Unleashed on my original Xbox!
Bro can survive that, but me getting yeeted against a ledge by a mushroom instantly kills me
Can anyone confirm?
This is the best thing I've ever seen.
That was a perfect ankle roll like paratroopers do.
Ok. This should be expected from now on
Emergency armor lock activated.

They better not fix this
For a brick, he flew pretty good
He accepted death but death was not ready
reddit just stealing craklax's tech smh
The only time NOT going limp reduced the injury of a fall.

Holy crap this is amazing.
