Tonight there was a commercial from Liberty Mutual Insurance: about Teen Driving and they were dropping a car from a crane to demonstrate, what its like in a crash. The tail end of the video has the woman saying "Now at 60 miles per hour" This is impossible. You see you cannot make the same object fall faster. Gravity alone determines the rate of an object in a free fall. It is a constant. Sounds weird but it can be proven with Calculus. Its been known since the days of Galileo 400 years ago.
But I do guess incorrect information that stops kids from driving with no seatbelts is not all that bad. Just bad math. :-)
