Table 3.

The measured height, vertical velocity and vertical acceleration of hip and wrist upon the harness-fall-arrest instant used for hip and wrist impact velocity estimation. Independent t tests were performed to examine the difference between feet-forward and split falls.

		Height (m)	Velocity (m s⁻¹)	Acceleration (m s⁻²)
Hip	Feet-forward	0.40 ± 0.04	−0.34 ± 0.23	−2.60 ± 4.23
	Split	0.36 ± 0.03	−0.28 ± 0.20	−0.94 ± 2.64
	p value	p<0.001	p>0.05	P<0.05

Wrist	Feet-forward	0.47 ± 0.16	−0.95 ± 0.63	−4.41 ± 4.87
	Split	0.37 ± 0.78	−1.09 ± 2.41	−4.02 ± 4.43
	p value	p>0.05	p>0.05	p>0.05
