After rigorous data gathering, I came up with a theory based on several factors that would cause people (in general) feeling vulnerable.
The data was gathered at Broga Hill, Malaysia, in which the subject was to descend from a hill according to his own pace. A Suunto Vector altimeter was strapped to the subject while going downhill and the results are as below:
25 July 2010
6.06am - 350m
7.24am - 370m
7.25am - 360m
7.26am - 355m
7.28am - 350m
7.29am - 345m * Falling at -24m/min
7.30am - 320m * Ankle dislocation
7.33am - 315m * Emergency help arrived
7.51am - 245m
8.04am - 145m - test finished
The graph below summarizes data gathered:
One of the main points to be considered for the subject is how fearless or invisible the subject felt at the time. At this point the subject was considered to be feeling free and in the state of fearlessness. In other words, this would mean the subject was able to do an action (running downhill in this instance) without affected by unpleasant emotions caused by the belief that something is dangerous, likely to cause pain or threat.
However, there is also a cause factor which caused the subject to be fearless/invincible, namely the existence of crowd in a very confined area. This could be attributed to the possible claustrophobia trait of the subject, hence causing the subject to flee and at a point experiencing a sensation of invincibility.
During the experiment, we gathered that upon entering the Fog Zone, the subject was overwhelmed and excited which resulted in the sensation of invincibility.
The study also suggests the Vulnerability line, whereby when exceeded towards the X-axis would cause serious injury and diminishing the thought or sensation of invincibility as this would mean the subject falls within the Awakening Zone.
In conclusion, the tendency to cross the Vulnerability Line will be higher when a subject stays for a shorter period of time at each level of height, e.g. 2 seconds/metre
* The subject experienced torn tendon to his left ankle and multiple soft-tissue injury as a result of the experiment. This resulted in a few thousand dollar hospital bill and numerous visits to a specialist. His office granted him 3 weeks of leave and he vowed never to participate in such experiment in his life anymore.
End of study.
