Maybe - I'd guess that the speed limit in downtown Ottawa is probably no more than about 50 kph/30mph ;)

Police said it appears Jinah took a running start to try to spit further than his two friends when he unintentionally vaulted himself over the balcony railing.

A running start to spit???

I just don't understand why they are not looking into the "Bereaved Roommate" theory. Seems strange to me that his room mate was the only one that couldn't talk , and aren't these kids "passed" on account of Bereavement? Just a thought

Geez, it was only a Canadian! And, if he were a terrorist letting off steam before an operation, I 'm sure then have Saudi backups training all over Canada.

CARLETON University engineering student ... "It was purely accidental," said Ottawa police Sgt. Joe Simpson. "Momentum carried him beyond."

He must have missed the Physics 101 intro and Galileo's fundamental discovery of the law of inertia - that bodies in motion tend to remain in motion...of course, unlike laboratory physics where the affects of friction can be assumed negligible...the affects of alcohol cannot...

Apartment building security guard Jason Armstrong, who was working Saturday night, said he heard a thud and immediately knew something was wrong.

"It didn't sound like your normal loogie hitting the pavement."

Another question for the ages.

Kinda like, "What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?"

I thought Sir Isaac Newton Day is December 25th.

Well, it is for me.

One would assume that that speed limit refers to horizontal street traffic.
