Is it possible to jump forward from car to car on top of the train when the train is moving at a high speed.

There are plenty of "walking on top of train" posts. Use *find*. And end your questions with a question mark, please.

This is not a "new" myth idea. It is not even CLOSE to being new! Do a 'find.' This has already been POSTED TO DEATH!

If someone jumped out of a plane without a parachute would it be possible for someone with a parachute to catch up with them and save them from hitting the ground

well now... that highly depends on two things... is the person who jumped out of the airplane commiting suicide, or just dumb enough to be near the open door without thier schute on... and.. are they doing anything to slow thier decent so that the person trying to catch them can speed up and get to them in time.

Then its up to the experience of the person who was smart enough to have thier schute on before the door opened to pull a tandem skydive wiouth any harnesses.

BTW they tested the skydive catchup already and proved you could catch up to a diver without a chute. Weather the person can hold on tight enough to the guy with the chute is anouther problem all togeather.

i didnt say it was impossible, what i said was as long as the dude was doing something to slow his decent and the other perseon was trying to speed up, then yeah they could catch them given enough time in the fall to do so. even though i dont know how to skydive i know theres techniques to both speed up and slow your decent.
