Experimental method:

  1. Weigh yourself carefully
  2. Mark a piece of this pipe with a felt pen at 1 cm intervals, or closer if you need better accuracy than that.
  3. Clamp a piece of this pipe to the handrail of the nearest large bridge, facing outward.
  4. Noting where your centre of mass is, walk out along the pipe until it buckles.
  5. On the way down, reflect on the value of doing your own homework.

Cheers,

Phil Hobbs
