Has anyone thought up rules for this?

Rayhawk did. You can leap 5" across and 1" high. Falling damage is calculated by the Charge rules (Chapter 5.4).

What more is there to rule on?

the damage to thou who was hit by the falling minifig

again, it's a collision between two objects. there's nothing different here.

I was originally thinking about the multiplying effect of gravity and how that would affect the collision

... what? what the hell are you talking about?

Gravity's somewhat accounted for in the Charge rules.

Not when your falling on someone.

And IV, GO RETAKE THIRD GRADE.

Ah, the irony.

HAHAHAHHAW!!

Oooh.. yeah.

I'm starting to believe Blitzen is right in saying I'm boneriffic, [nerd]even though it comes from retard, which I think means something along the lines of 'slow'[/nerd]as I didn't comprehend the last two posts

No, i mean that "multiplying the effect of gravity" doesn't make any sense, ESPECIALLY in the brik world. you can't just hit a button and go "hah! double gravity!" space-time doesn't work like that!

while falling, gravity makes you fall faster. Parachutes were made to almost nullify this. But in this case, there's a kamikaze scotsman falling from a 40,000 foot tower, without a parachute, and he lands on a giant.

That's the kind of multiplying effects of gravity I'm talking about

That's somewhat accounted for in the Charge rules. You could also do some physics, but I doubt you would want to.

What's the terminal velocity of a LEGO minifigure?

terminal velocity of a minifig?,
yeah, I'll calculate that later, when I don't have a hangover.
