But only if you were capable of jumping UP that 60 ft drop and then some.Assuming full conservation of momentum, and a chair of your mass you jump once accelerated from the 60 ft drop. In order to stop (we'll assume the speed you want to attain is insignificant compared with your falling speed), you need to accelerate to to twice your falling velocity with respect to the chair.If you could do that, then you'd be able to jump twice the height of the drop in the first place.And as the chair gets lighter, you need to be able to pull off higher and higher jumps.And now for something which isn't OT:Kai lord - in what situation do you want to do this? Why not just fire the bow twice, quickdraw the sword and attack? At least now you threaten an area...</blockquote>
