An average height and weight human has a terminal velocity of about 120mph. This is the maximum speed that a falling object can reach during free fall and can also be called terminal velocity. In my answer above, I mentioned terminal speed. In this section, we will talk about the science behind how ants can survive a fall. For now, we will look into ants not getting hurt after a fall further in the article. Sometimes it makes us wonder how much more this small creature can handle and if they have other surprise abilities we don’t know about. It’s really fascinating that ants seem to not get hurt when they fall even from a high elevation. It would only seem like a fall from a few centimeter’s height to the ant, because gravity can’t pull the ant faster to the ground. With a terminal speed of only 3.9mph, even if you throw an ant from a high rise building, the slow descent speed allows them to survive the fall. If you want to learn more about the incredible strength of ants, you may want to read our article How Strong Are Ants?ĭo ants get hurt when they fall? No. I am also referring to some of their awesome abilities like strength, speed, and their uncanny ability to not die even after falling from high places.
I am not just talking about their ability to bite and sometimes cause extreme pain. Even with the small size of ants, they pack a mean punch.
