Explain what is wrong with the action scene and how the segment should be modified so that it honors the laws of physics.

The only thing I can think of is that the producers neglected air resistance and wind.

You didn't get the full link:



As far as the physics goes, the guy appears to fall at the right rate, but must have super human strength for his legs and body to withstand the g-forces of the landing.

Until now, I didn't think youtube had "trolls" (people who post things to just to create a long discussion).

I have the movie. I'll have to check the special features again, but the stuntman is some sort of savant with that kind of thing - I think every one of his stunts in that sequence is real and most were done in one take.

I think they filmed the first bit of the jump a meter or two of the ground and the landing on the other crane was done with wires to help him fall safely.
