I got to thinking last night that theoretically, with enough hair, the air resistance would slow you down so that your terminal velocity would be low enough to land unharmed. How long would it need to be? How would one go about calculating this?
I assume you need some kind of drag coefficient and a density for hair to start with. Not sure where to find that information.
I think this would actually be better than long straight hair. The large area would have greater drag, and the low density would mean it’s lighter than any shaped straight hair.
