Had I known the place I fell, I wud hv laid straws there. How much straw shud b laid 2 guarantee a safe fall?

There are no details available. Good approximations of the mass of an average man and that of a single straw would be very useful. The height of the jump to be considered should be plausible.

Key concepts to be considered: Energy, Momentum, Forces.

Good luck. Thanks…
