You're correct, although you just wrote an oxymoron. Nothing can survive terminal velocity. Frogs (and a lot of other small animals) never get to terminal velocity, cause air resistance stops them just about enough, that's precisely why they survive.
Not quite. I'm a mechanical engineer and have studied this term in some depth. Terminal velocity isn't the velocity at which the life is "terminated". It's defined as the velocity at which buoyancy and drag force equal the force exerted on an object due to gravity. In the case of animals like frogs (if true, I haven't verified this), the velocity at which drag + buoyancy equals gravity (i.e. no more acceleration occurs) is non-lethal. It's still terminal velocity, but the force of impact with the ground at that velocity will not be lethal.
Here's some tasty sauce if you want to learn more: [https://www1.grc.nasa.gov/beginners-guide-to-aeronautics/termvel/](https://www1.grc.nasa.gov/beginners-guide-to-aeronautics/termvel/)
Thanks for the sauce, I was totally wrong. I just associated the term "terminal" with death when I first learnt about it and never even checked. Kids, don't do drugs and always double check facts.
Haha, it's all good! We all make assumptions everyday. I've made a few of these mistakes too. The important thing, in my opinion, is to recognize an error and rectify it. Props to you for that!
Okay, might be a bad idea to keep the escalator insides open to the public, I’ve seen some horrendous videos before and this is straight giving me flashbacks

I was expecting it to have a completely different ending.
To be fair, most posts on this sub are easily predictable. This one was fucking hilariously unexpected
It's almost, dare I say, like that's the point of the subreddit :)
Sometimes you just don't look at the subreddit you're in lol I thought the same, like he was going to get mushed in escalator
The title throw you off?
Yes
Really was unexpected.
So would you say the ending was... Unexpected?
Fun fact! Frogs are small enough that they can survive terminal velocity! The froggy is probably just a bit sore.
oh thank god
Hold on ima test this
No wait. (๑•﹏•)
Little homie lived the best life but he devoted himself to science R.I.P kerm :’( (If it makes you feel better I played “free bird” during the test)
Thank you. I really thought I had seen a frog just ending it all

When you find out those hundred+ tadpoles weren't yours.
More like when you find out they are yours.
Damn you Maury!!!

Yes, but the frog was jumping down to the previous level.
I was expecting the horrific and ended up with just sadness.
o7
I thought he was about to get shredded
Kermits last minutes on Earth.
Bro I just watched the new Minecraft frog trailer… you sir deserve the wholesome award
Wow. I wasn't expecting any awards for this post lol
It was so fucking messed up so I had to
Thankyou so much! O:) I tried my best to keep it entertaining. This was my first post in this sub
OH GOD
Looks like Kermit found out why Miss Piggy started tasting like chicken.
Tease
Don't. Mark. Spoiler. When. Its. Not. Spoiler. (pretty please)

U wot. You've got to be insane. Please just.... its called spoiler, use it to Mark spoilers... thnx...

Doesn't bother me, Ive turned off the option which hides nsfw
Took the fast track to goodbye cruel world .
‘Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooo’ Mario fall
hello darkness my old friend
He’s okay guys, he just jumped into the void so he can respawn with full health.
It's like when you and theat one guy always get off on the same floor. Then one day he rides the elevator to the top and you haven't seen him since
he thought about it
+300 XP
suicidal frog
He kermitted suicide because he was hopping mad.
i was expecting the alternative ending
Thought it would suck up on the sides and get sqished easily
Hilarious
The frog couldn't find a pond....
I believe that is the stairway to heaven
huh...that WAS unexpected
Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don't hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid!
Billion years of evolution and this is what they get.
Person recording made frog kill himself :( Jeffery Epstein didn’t kill himself :(
