“...Sorry to nit-pick. Physics major here.”

No need to be sorry. Did you even read this?:

If you have an actual argument, I’d be happy to hear it.
Force of impact is Favg = m ag h / s
where Force (average) equals acceleration due to gravity relative to height of fall (which equals speed) divided by time of deceleration or deformation.
Rather than some platitude about how educated you are, I would prefer an explanation of where the purported error is.
where Force (average) equals MASS times acceleration due to gravity relative to height of fall (which equals speed) divided by time of deceleration or deformation.
Numbers and letters are useless in a formula without UNITS.
Which units are involved here (for us math “formula” purists)
