Why don't super heroes fly feet first?

[Kaleva]

This would give better protection to the head. If they wanted to scan the ground below, they could lay flat face down while still flying feet first.

1. Protect the head??? They're SUPERheros!!! Not regular heroes...

that are worried about cranial or neurological injuries!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. They need to see where they're going. Have you ever seen a bird fly feet first?

Anyhow, superheroes' heads don't need protection; they are, after all, superheroes. Can you imagine Superman wearing a helmet? Please...

3. Cuz...

their capes would get in their eyes!


Unless they flew face up. But then they'd better fly higher than birds fly or else they're going to get a face full of bird poo

4. They land feet first.

5. Then they would be up wind of their own feet!

[Callmecrazy]

6. And if they were barefoot...

the wind would whistle through their toes.

15. MY GF wants to tell you that's it's not fun to

have a bumblebee fly up your cooter at 650, either.

16. What do you think all that tight Spandex is for?

[dixiegrrrrl]

10. Had no clue bees could fly that fast!

13. Whenever I see WW in the invisible plane I think of this

[pinboy3niner]

12. Too hard toe nail the landing. nt

[NV Whino]

14. It would muss up their hair.

17. Ever water ski and hit the water butt first?

No one but Super Anal-retentive Man would have the muscular development to withstand force of the air stream.
