Breakables. She has a tendency to drop glasses, dishes, while working she would keep a firm grip on her tools but I see her dropping things or knocking things over. Things like that.  I likely should have explained myself better sorry. :-/<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Interesting point...<br/><br/>Try an experiment: Stand up, and hold an (unbreakable) object at arms length. Let go of it and then try to catch it before it hits the floor. You should be able to do so at least one in three or four times, more if you have quick reflexes.<br/><br/>That is on Earth where objects accelerate at 9.8 Meters per second per second. On Mars, things accelerate downwards at 3.7 Meters per second per second. That is one third as fast. So, first point to bear in mind is that someone with Earth trained reflexes would be more than able to catch something they had knocked over before it hit.<br/><br/>Second point to bear in mind is that even a fragile object falling to a hard surface is far less likely to break. Things will seem to fall in slow motion.
