作死失败是种怎样的体验？ 第1页

去年Reddit上的段子，有人贴过么？

讲述一个惨无猫道的实验是如何变成惨无人道的...

原始问题是你见过的最不人道的实验是什么

Actual unethical experiment story here, complete with results:

以下是一个真实的不人道实验以及其结果

My dad was a skydiver back in the sixties. There was a guy in his club that was a nut. He had the idea that he could test the axiom that "cats always land on their feet" from free fall altitude, where he would fall with them and observe their self-righting behavior. He had no interest in aiding their descent, just wanted to see how they behaved in free fall. In his plan, landing was the cats' problem, not his. Scientific impartiality, or some such thing.

上世纪60年代的时候我爸是一个跳伞爱好者。他们俱乐部里面有一个傻逼。这人有一次想到一个方法可以验证那个“猫总会四爪落地”的公理，就是把猫跟他一起带到天上然后跳伞的时候把猫扔下来，然后观察它们在空中行为如何。在他的计划里没考虑猫怎么安全落地，认为这是猫的问题，算是科学客观现实和他没关。

He took four stray cats up in a pillowcase for the jump. After exiting the plane, he turned the pillowcase inside out, releasing the cats. To his great surprise, all four cats attached themselves to his body immediately. With their claws. Given that cats have 18 claws each, he was punctured at least 72 times. More, probably, because he struggled vainly to remove the cats as he fell, but they were having none of it, and would reattach with even more conviction with every effort he made to pull them off.

于是他用枕套装了四只流浪猫上了飞机准备跳伞。从飞机跳下来之后，他把枕套里外一翻，把猫扔到空中。万万没想到，四只猫立即用爪子抓在他身上。每只猫一共有18只爪尖，所以他身上立即多了72个窟窿。窟窿可能还更多，因为他拼命要把猫弄掉，但不仅弄不掉，反而让猫再抓时抓的更牢。

Presently, he was out of altitude, and had to turn his attention to opening the chute. Let's pause to do some math. A chute opening can generate as much as 3 Gs of force. The average cat weighs 8 lbs at 1 G. At three Gs, this becomes 24 lbs per cat. So when the chute opened, for a moment this guy had 72 razor sharp claws in his skin, each one being pulled down with a force of about one and a third pounds. That's 96 pounds of cat. He was sliced to ribbons, basically. All four cats hung on through the chute opening, although the skydiver's shredded flesh allowed each one to slip several inches. Bleeding and in misery, the skydiver managed to make a safe, if rather rough, landing in a farm field. As soon as he hit the earth, all four cats ran off across the field, leaving him to lie there bleeding from his hundred or so wounds. He was the only member of the skydiving club that was displeased with the results of his experiment.

好了，现在他高度要不够了，所以得集中精力准备开伞。这里我们先暂停下做做算术题。开伞瞬间产生的加速度大概3个G。流浪猫每只平均重八磅，也就是说在3G加速度时重24磅。四只猫就是96磅。也就是说在开伞瞬间，这厮身上七十二只猫指甲捅了七十二个洞，每个尖指甲在用大概一点三磅也就是一斤一两多的力扯着他的肉（译者注：画面太美不敢看！），结果就是被划成一道一道的。最后结果是，四只猫都稳稳的抓住没掉下去，虽然有的猫向下滑了几英寸，也就意味着在他肉里划出几寸长的口子。浑身是血又十分悲催，好在他还是安全着陆了，虽然冲击有点大，落在了一片农田里。刚一落地，四只猫立即穿过整块田地跑走了，留下他，还有他身上上百个伤口和一身血，在地里。

整个俱乐部成员除了他自己，对这个实验结果都十分满意。
