Speed limit in area is 50km/hr or 30 mph. Thats 44 ft/sec. In theory, on object propelled upwards at 44 ft/ sec will reach a height of 30.25 ft.

Too bad the injury was non life threatening
Dude, you can’t park there.
If you’re gonna f#ck up, might as well f#ck up in a way that leaves people wondering how.
