Nice of DB Cooper to come out of retirement for one last job: Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

It dependsHFNY said:Isn't there someone on here who enjoyed too much abundance in Med School and dropped out but at least knows how much (or little) ACL tears effect straight-line speed?
The wiki link is too much text for me, haven't seen something that long since my ex's restraining order on me.

One of the nastiest tackles I've ever seen. -
I've had a couple of ACL tears. The one in high school didn't affect my speed, only my jumping and cutting. Could cut fine wearing a brace for reassurance but never could jump well off that foot again. I tore it again later and again didn't notice any loss of speed though I seldom tried to run by that age. Following rehab of that second ACL I tore the one in the other knee. Now I can't run for shit not that it matters.
I think long term affects are variable and may have more to do with other damage to the knee aside from the ACL. I don't think there's anything mechanically limiting how fast you run. It's more a matter of your body telling your brain to put a limit on it.
So there's some first hand experience from an average specimen of short, white guy who quit football after 8th grade. Take it FWIW. -

Not a dry eye in the house when he jumped from that plane.

Probably not any loss of speed after 1 ACL tear but probably a different story after after 3 of then

FYI ACL tears don't repair themselves with rehab, only surgery can fix an acl.
Therefore the "tore it again" bullshit above is bullsht.
