So like humans would have a terminal velocity as well then? So like all ppl who sky dive fall at around the same speed because they all reach their terminal velocity?

Then bugs are like indesructible if they can fall from such large distances

Have you never heard of terminal velocity before?

Some weirdo would freak out that they could be killing bugs, so i doubt they would do it. Not sure though.

I was thinking if we were to drop a cockroach off the empire state building would it die and splatter? or would he walk away fine?
How about an ant? or rhino bettle, rolly polly? a worm?
If any of these things would die if they were dropped from that height would they die at a lower height?

If they dont die would they die at a higher height?

Just something that was "bugging" me

My guess is that you could not throw any of these objects off the top of the ESB and hit the ground. They all land on a ledge (and live) b\c of the wind.

This has to be the least effective means of extermination on the planet.

Excellent post.

Ant or Cockroach lives. Worm probably dies.
