if you were hit in the stomach by a shuttlecock travelling at 200mph would it hurt?

Answer 1

Maximum speed ever recorded for a shuttlecock was 201 mph, so there aren't too many of them flying about, they are not that heavy so the most you are likely to get is a decent bruise.

Answer 2

If by 'by' you mean 'next to' then it would depend what had hit me in the stomach and how hard. The shuttlecock, of course, would just fly by next to me.

I think that a shuttlecock that hit me at 200mph would cause pain and a bit of bruising.

Answer 3

Of course it would.
Mum was hit in the eye by a shuttlecock and had to lie as still as possible for the following week, so that her retina did not detach. It also caused her to have a catarct. So all in all, it would hurt, and if it can do that to an eye, could possibly cause problems other than bruising if one hit you in the stomach..

Answer 4

it would stink a little because the mass weight of the shuttlecock is not that much and the stomach having give to a degree in it.
at the point of impact the shuttlecock would decrees in speed very quickly therefore no great pain would be felt other then short stink.

Answer 5

its tiny and i doubt you could get a shuttlecock up to that kind of speed due to the drag on the feathers
i would imagine it to be a little uncomfortable but i doubt its a trip to the doctors jobbie!

Answer 6

i would say yes anything coming at you at 200mph is gonna hurt. well maybe not a feather

Answer 7

Unless you were traveling backwards at about 100 mph then of course it would bloody hurt !.

Answer 8
