The cat fell, but not injured

You've probably seen a cat falling from high places can land smoothly and not injured. Why can, cat fell but not injured?
This occurs because the cat had a system of balance and coordination outstanding. The system of cat is what makes a cat, when cat dropped, will realize in what position of the cat fell. If cat falls in the inverted position, cat will soon rotate the cat's body so that cat feet are next to bottom, and cat prepare for landing. Positions cat are not landed with a random position. If a man fell from the high ground with his feet under, usually had a broken bone. But not for cat, after rotating the cat's foot down, the cat soon stretched cat legs so that the wind holding the cat's body. And when the cat in contact with the ground, cat's legs bent to minimize direct cat falling effect.

The highest record ever recorded that the cat had fallen from a height of 46 floor levels (although now falling cat had bounced into the canopy). Cat will still be up and running with a slightly limping. extraordinary. If humans must die. But research shows that the higher a cat falls, the more bones are broken. But only until the 5th floor limit doang level. Moreover, the number of broken bones cat dropped dramatically, especially if higher.

The secret is, cat (and some other animals) have something called the terminal velocity, the maximum falling speed of 60 miles per hour. When a cat falls, according to the laws of physics, the cat falling speed increase. Apparently, when the speed of falling cat reaches terminal velocity, at that moment the cat feels most relaxed and comfortable. So he began to stretch his legs like a squirrel to reduce the effects of the fall. This is the cause, the higher the cat fell, cats have the opportunity to feel relaxed. It also caused if a cat falls from a low place, he did not have time to feel relaxed. Then the effect will be more pronounced fall.
