I joined just so I can suggest the myth from TMNT 1 where Shredder falls into a dump truck and (not to spoil it for anyone) survives and comes back in the second one.
Is it possible to survive a fall from a building into a dump truck and the motion of a dump truck that compresses the trash? Not only does he survive that, but also the dump as well.

fall - yes
compactor - hell no

Sorry for bumping such an old thread, but I would like to see this tested. Also, I would like to know something else from this scene. (Actually, the segment right before this scene.) That part involves when Splinter parries the Shredder's spear charge with a nunchaku, flips him over, and throws him off the building. Assuming that Splinter has the strength of an average human (even though he is an old, mutant rat), is it actually physically possible?
