2 Eagles flying in the sky represents Altair and Ezio
Sorry Desmond, you're not experienced enough

Shaun: I'm pretty sure Rebecca was real high when she was calculating the height!
Rebecca: Shaun!
Shaun: It was a joke! Or was it?
Desmond, Altair and Ezio together: Seriously Shaun, fuck you!
Desmond: Is Rebecca really a drug addict?
Rebecca: Shaun! Come back here!
Shaun: Nice try!

Desmond: Hey, wait! There's no hay! Am I high on drugs? Funny, I'm not a drug addict! So, it's the bleeding effect. Ezio is not wearing his father's robes, but his Pilgrimage ones!

Sure he is! He just needs a little push :3

I was like: Ezio feel so free~! You do it, Altair!
And then when I saw the scaredy cat back there I was like: Wait, who's that? Oh... wait... it's desmond... explains a lot.
Then Malik comes and pushes him off

One could argue Des is just the most sane
re: flying machine
Leonardo: No! It's too dangerous! To test it you'd have to leap off a tower. Who would be mad enough to do a thing like that?
Ezio: *grins* Leonardo, I think you have just found your madman.
π: 1 β©: 1
Well can't argue with that XD
XD That would be such a beautiful thing to see. That's why I would love Ezio the most.
I'd just be watching that happen So happily...

You'd love to see him leap off a tower?!?
π: 0 β©: 1
He's -supposedly- assasin blood! He can jump off no problem. Then again...
Well, yes. I would like to see the three jump of a tower. Mainly Ezio cuz reasons...
But I'd like to see how Desmond does it, too. (Idk...)
π: 1 β©: 1
AC II was the first game of the series I played. I thought Ezio totally cray-cray when he did that first leap of faith on his way to see Cristina. I think he was an Assassin before he even knew it
But Desmond does take the leap! In Brotherhood, when he sawΒ an Eagle Vision echo of Ezio jumped off the wall (can't remember why) and followed. Lucy said "That was pretty amazing" after she climbed down a ladder...
π: 1 β©: 1
He's naturally crazy; cut him some slack XD I really like using this icon, don't I? His bloodline kinda got him those assassin skills since, you know, Giovanni and stuff. I feel pretty bad he, Petruccio and Federico were hanged...
Really? I didn't see that. So he really can do it after all, huh? Well, I have to be honest, I wouldn't do that if I were in Desmond's place. If I had trainingΒ for a few years in Masyaf or something... I guess it could be an exception. Yet it must be kind of painful to fall in a haystack, still. But all those who do the leap of faith are in my opinion crazy. Still, Desmond didn't exactly have training yet he did it. So he's still awesome. Β Β I'm surprised this is the ONLY Desmond icon I could find...

I should make more Desmond icons someday... There are a few Desmond plz accounts though! See my journal list:Β atlantima.deviantart.com/journβ¦

xD I'm listening to the Sherlock theme song as I'm reading this, and it goes really well with Ezio doing the funky chicken there xD
I feel bad tooΒ 
I'd forgotten it until I replayed sometime in the past year. Desmond learned some pretty neat stuff with that bleeding effect. Too bad that wasn't real!
Yeah, painful to fall in a haystack or wheelbarrow of flowers. When I first climbed the Campanile di san Giotto in Firenze (well, I didn't climb it, Ezio did ;3) I looked off the viewpoint to that tiny little rectangle of pink and thought HELL NO! and climbed back down xD
π: 0 β©: 1
XD Just watch the whole icon repeat until the song ends.
I know... guess it was kinda useful. Where would our lil' Ezio be if they didn't die? Possibly back to being a playboy.
If only it was real :3
LOL Well, I see that you have a brain. Just imagine, if you jumped off, and the wheelbarrow was moved before you landed, that would be very... bloody.
π: 0 β©: 1
I did xD Ezio's gotta have real strong thigh musclesΒ to move like that for so long x3 ...*purrs*
Yeah. The Pazzi family might have taken over Firenze, and a whole mess of other things would have torn Italia apart. Heck, all of that would have happened had he not survived his own birth! He was almost a stillborn...
It would be THE coolest way to learn history!
*shudders* Lui Γ© pazzo.Β That's all I can say. Like what he did in the opening scene of Revelations. Crazy crazy crazy.

Ezio: I am flyyying!
Altair: My heart is takin' oooover!
Desmond: NOPE!
π: 1 β©: 1
Desmond: Ugh.... Why was I even born?
(Desmond take the leap of faith and it was not high enough to end his life. 30ft into a big ass pile of a haystack.
π: 1 β©: 1
(... Yeeeaaah, even so, I myself feel the fear of highs crawl over me whenever I look at the last step from the highest step in a staircase. Even if 30 feet isn't too high, depending on how you land you could be fatally injured. ^^)
π: 0 β©: 1
It will also depend upon the amount of hay. 30 feet is survivable if you know how to roll when falling.
π: 0 β©: 1
But a heap of hay contains mostly of air, it's a miracle that those humans actually makes it out alive- fuck, watch THIS then you'll see what I mean.
π: 0 β©: 1
As I said, you need to get to a lower altitude to survive the jump. See Professor Splash? He made a world record for leaping into something even smaller, a kiddie pool, that too from 11m.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, but some people jump out of planes without parachutes, sky-divers or free-fallers or whatever they're called. Hundreds upon hundreds of feet in the air. Some of those actually survives, lo and behold... But then again, I can sort of side with you. To actually survive something like that depends on the physical health of the diver. If the bones are fragile and the muscle-mass is too thin then the diver will most likely without a doubt die.
π: 0 β©: 2
From what I can tell, Altair and Ezio are superhuman because they are mutants with the Eagle Vision, which can find cold trails, show friend to foe and just like Spider Sense, alert the user of any oncoming danger. Their abilities were only enhanced with proper training. Even on low health they are even stronger.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, but I don't believe they become any lighter. The heavier you are, the harder you will fall, and with all the strength that they build up they will fall even harder. Muscles weigh more than fat. Their senses may be refined but I don't think that any refinement of their senses will make them into, literally, a feather-weight... :/
Also, with all those tools they are carrying their total weight should be 100 kilos, or about 220 lbs and 7 oz if you're an American.
π: 0 β©: 1
Depends upon their hardiness. Sometimes your pain tolerance is so high that when you get stabbed in the hand with a knife, you just pull it out as if it was nothing and immediately start a fistfight.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, but when you're falling from 100+ meters, even if you land in a hay-stack, your weight will increase due to speed, to, like, 1500 kg or more. You can have the weight of a small car the second you hit the ground.
π: 0 β©: 1
Don't make the jump from 100m. Climb down to a safe altitude, like 11m, and then jump.
π: 0 β©: 1
11 is still a lot and- whatever... They may have supervision but I still think they're human more or less. They should be dead, or alive with great injuries. End of story. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Not a lot for Prof. Splash, however. HE walks away with no injuries and even sometimes runs off in victory.
π: 0 β©: 1
He fell flat on his stomach, creating a lot of wind-resistance, while the AC characters create a u form while falling on their backs in a haystack from both short and large distances between start and finish. I've heard of someone here that died falling from the 3rd floor. On the other hand, I've heard of others jumping out of airplanes without parachutes. So called free-fallers, or whatever... Otherwise called careless idiots... =__='

Seeing that both Altair and Ezio are extremely strong and capable of killing men with a sword as if it was a feather, I don't think that these guys' strengths are anywhere near a weak thin man.
π: 0 β©: 2
Also, hay is solid, not gas. So hay acts like a cushion.
π: 0 β©: 0
Yes, but that's exactly it, they can lift heavy armor as if it was nothing, they are extremely strong, they have LOADS of muscles, muscles weigh more than fat and they will fall from such heights like 30 cubic centimeters block made of gold, really heavy metal! If not the heaviest there is!
30 cubic centimeters (a box with each and every side being 11.811 inches) of gold weighs:
154,83365255 kilos
341.4193 pounds
π: 0 β©: 2
It is also possible in real life, with constant practice.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, but the heavier they are, the harder they will fall. Armor and weaponry weighs x lb/x kg, Altair/Ezio/Desmond weighs y lb/y kg, x Β€ y = xy = weighs a lot and they will fall pretty hard. EVEN if they land in a hay-stack and EVEN if the distance from point A to point B is short. They will fall hard and it will hurt a little/a lot depending on the distance fallen.
π: 0 β©: 1
This is why they need to perform a leap of faith from a lower altitude with the haystack lined up correctly.
π: 0 β©: 1
They jump from towers at times...
π: 0 β©: 1
Which you shouldn't do. Use a parachute.
π: 0 β©: 1
They are no ordinary humans. Surviving high falls, however, requires strenghtening of bones and constant practice.
