Nigel Rogoff lost a leg when he crashed into a stand at Villa Park dressed as Santa during Aston Villa’s match against Arsenal on Sunday, December 13, 1998, 23 years ago today. We’re rowing for the Row2Recovery charity to hopefully support young men and women who have been injured on duty in the course of their service career and to inspire them to get off their backsides, do something and be focused on life after injury. Nigel had his left leg amputated above the knee after parachuting into the Trinity Road stand in a Father Christmas suit when a stunt went wrong at half time in Villa's 3-2 Premier League win over Arsenal. Once the catapult is made, experiment with different sizes and shapes of objects ( pom poms and ping pong balls are a good starting point ) to find out which travel the furthest. Luckily another OBO reader, this one in New York, had some time on his hands and dug up an article in the Birmingham Mail.
Some 46 days, a tropical storm, 50ft waves, sea sickness and not much food later the team arrived, very hairy, very thin and waving artificial limbs.

Parachutes catch a lot of air creating a lot of drag, a push that opposes the movement of the parachute. Science Sparks assume no liability with regard to injuries or damage to property that may occur as a result of using the information and carrying out the practical activities contained in this resource or in any of the suggested further resources. If Santa fell from his sleigh without a parachute, gravity would cause his body to fall through the air rapidly and he may not survive to finish delivering all the presents.Tissue paper or a plastic bag and a few strings is all it takes to make your figure into an expert skydiver. They were trailing 2-0 at half-time in the Premier League fixture after Dennis Bergkamp scored twice. Since my injuries I’ve lived in South Africa for 10 years and done some property development over there and now live in Hereford. He lost three stone in weight and battled 50-foot waves during the 47-day voyage in a rowing boat with three other wounded military veterans. Compare this with how long it takes for a paper Santa with no parachute to fall from the same height (this will be your control).
Nigel Rogoff fell 100ft and lost a leg after his jump went wrong but later circumnavigated the UK by kayak and hand cycle and rowed across the Atlantic . I’ve tried to paddle the circumference of the UK a couple of times and ended up being rescued in the middle of the night in the North Sea somewhere! Though the children were momentarily placated by their gifts, it seemed there was nothing McPhee could do to placate their parents.If you enjoyed these don’t forget to check out some of my other brilliant science experiments for kids. Our particular crew are all serving or ex-serving members of the British Armed Forces like myself who have all lost a limb.
