    Great info! I've been looking for a little more info on this stuff all night. I watched an episode of Mythbusters last night that spoke of certain amounts of force that could possible kill someone. I thought they said 100 pounds of force could kill someone if the impact were in the right place. I may have heard it wrong. I was curious because I thought I recently read that professional boxers punch at a higher amount than that. So, I got online and could only find measurements in psi, which I knew wasn't the same (but didn't fully understand the difference until reading your article). I appreciate the detail in explaining the differences in psi and force, as well as the results of your research on this matter. Great job! However, I'm more lost about last night's episode of Mythbusters now. I'm curious what number and measurement they said, as I wasn't fully focused on it, at the time. Oh well. No biggie, since I don’t plan on testing it. I noticed on some of your other articles a similar feel of research and detail going into the articles. I’ll definitely check out some more of them.
