I'm taKing over this thread.

In Stephen King books, whenever someone falls on the ground they always severely injure themselves.


I don't know what the deal is. I skateboarded for 8 years. I fell down, hard, thousands of times.

often RIGHT on my temple or flopped on my side from mid body level.


never had a compound fracture. never had a true laceration (plenty of scrapes, never cut the skin all the way through), never cracked a skull, etc.


I am reading through the Dark Tower series, and i read The Stand.


for some reason... people will be running and fall and land on the ground and snap their ankle and crack their skull.... or drunkenly slam their head into the jam of a door and get a head wound that bleeds so much they loose consciousness.


this does not happen in real life.


King tries TOO HARD to make his "book physics" seem like real life physics.
