ronthepon Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 Stand with your knees locked for long enough, and you will pass out! I've never tried it. Will anybody do that for me? Quote
InfiniteNow Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 Stand with your knees locked for long enough, and you will pass out! I've never tried it. Will anybody do that for me?It's true. During extended periods of standing meditation, you get very dizzy and lightheaded if you do not keep a slight bend in your knees. If locked for long enough, the dizziness will intensify and the person will pass out. Quote
Kayra Posted May 8, 2006 Report Posted May 8, 2006 It's true. During extended periods of standing meditation, you get very dizzy and lightheaded if you do not keep a slight bend in your knees. If locked for long enough, the dizziness will intensify and the person will pass out. All True Canadian Military teach new recruits how to stand at attention for long periods (typically while on parade). Knees slightly bent, and shift weight from leg to leg. Quote

Tormod Posted May 12, 2006 Report Posted May 12, 2006 Fact: Contrary to popular belief, brief exposure (ie, less than 30 seconds) to the vacuum of outer space would not kill you. However, it is wise NOT to take a deep breath before you jump, as it would get sucked out of you. Rather, breathe out first. And you might get frost bites, but nothing severe. Quote
