“And the Thunderbolt takes a bad fall; he’s outta-there! I’d hate to be Boyington after a fall like that. Now, I get a lot of questions about falls, but the biggest is: Duncan, what’s it like to be in fifty tons of falling ceramet and myomer? Well, that’s not easy to explain. Sometimes, the `Mech goes down gently; you catch yourself with a knee or your arms and cushion the impact. Other times, you go down like that Thunderbolt: hard on a side with a limb blown off. For the pilot, it’s a bit like being mauled by a bear or jumping out a third floor window; except he can’t bend his knees or roll with the landing, he’s just gotta ride it down and hope for the best. Poor Boyington’s going to be lucky if he’s still conscious, but at least his SRM Ammo didn’t go up!”
