"Lets say you're on a train moving along the tracks at 12mph. Let's also say that all of the exit doors on the train are open. The doors between the train cars are open too. It has become apparent to you that the train is headed for a ravine and the bridge is out. Your only options are A and B. Which option is safest?

A) Jump out of a side exit door, hit the ground and roll, keeping your momentum rolling forward in the direction of the train.

B) Sprint toward the rear of the train, trying your best to approximate 12mph, and jump out of the back.
"

Well, for this one, its more like the the train is the tread mill.

You are comparing your impact with stationary ground in two scenarios...one leaping sideways to your direction of travel...one leaping backwards opposite your direction of travel.
