Head stomping

by **Bingo** » Fri Jul 16, 2004 8:05 pm

Dose anyone know the amount of force needed to crush in a human skull. ive been trying to ask my mothers boss, who is a nerosurgen, but he dosent want to tell me and gives me odd looks.

I would want to know, because in a small outbreak if one is standing in your way and you need to get to the outher side wouldent it be easyer to kick them with your left foot then bring down unholy justice with your right (Outher way around if your left footed). If you do not have a wepon.

I think its totaly possable. Im a big guy, relativly 6'3 240 lbs with a lot of power. maby if i can get a good method in we might need to bring shoe cleaner to your BOB

I'd rather swing a bat than step on one. Trust me. If you're that big you can do it easily with anything. Your limbs should be your last options.

by **Bingo** » Fri Jul 16, 2004 10:00 pm

Well, thats what the situation, no wepons...just pure man power.

by **Jeff** » Fri Jul 16, 2004 10:03 pm

Don't get in that situation

really, anything can be used as a weapon and anything is better than nothing. If you are close enough to punch, they are close enough to grapple, tear, and bite. That's something I don't want anyone to suffer, especially those who understand what is happening, like those on this forum.

I know how to handle zombies with weppons. right now im a junor in high school, and when TSHTF im not going to have a wep. and my schools have tight passageways, stair wells, and small hallways. And im pritty sure the security guards wont like me too well if i carry around a cugel, sword, knife, or gun for that matter. :wink:

you can totally crush a skull with your boot. it's called curbing. gruesome.

Are there no brooms or chairlegs in your school? No closets with clothes rods in them? No baseball bats in the coaches closet, no tools in the wood shop? How about big metal bars in the weight room? Volleyball poles? Gym locks swung on shoelaces? ALL of these are preferable to kicking a zombie. Although I would hesitate to do it, if it works for you, great. If not, well, what's one more zombie among billions?

by **Bingo** » Fri Jul 16, 2004 10:53 pm

Bah, why do you all think im going to become a zombie! im not an idiot.

My school, uses metal desks that are one peice..Eveythings locked up..nice and tight. so no..I dont want to stick around to get from one part of campus to the other looking for a base ball bat thats locked up in some equipment room somewere. its just an idea, Stop looking at me like im a fool :oops:

Even there I have a easy route go to the A.G department and get a shover. If you can't do that your best choice is to run as fast as you can, it is a ridiculous idea to try to stop a zombies head. What if you are surrounded my more than one? You need to plan an escape, don't let your macho-ness get to your head. Get anything besides struggling to get one down a stapler, fork from the cafeteria, a pencil even, anything you can get your hands on.

Hell, a folding chair, like pro wrestling. Or even a regular plastic one to use as a battering ram, to push by one or two.

Why don't you just pick them up and throw them off the building, like Peter ind Dawn (1978). Sorry I make so many references to it, its my favorite out of the 3 zombie movies I've seen.

by **Bingo** » Sat Jul 17, 2004 11:25 am

Agreed peater kicked some major ass in that movie. but i think you guys have never seen an arizona school. everything that can be picked up and used aginst someone is ither bolted down or too big to get through the doors.

this sorta got blown outta proproton, i just asked if you think human skulls can be broken with a swift stop with atleast 240lbs of pressure. thats all

by **jamoni** » Sat Jul 17, 2004 3:05 pm

Well, to answer that, I'd say not unless the head was backstopped by a wall or floor. You could probably sweep a leg, and when the undead beast hit the ground, stomp it. If you ever need a really sharp object, smash a toilet bowl and use the pieces. Cut you to the bone, easy. Make sure you have cloth or fabric for a handle.

Rip a zombies arm off, and then hold its hand like a hand shake, then swing. Instant Zombie club, provided by the zombie too.

by **Bingo** » Sat Jul 17, 2004 4:52 pm

now your thinking, but that still requires me to tuch it..

if i had some gloves maby..Tongs would be better but i like the club..and hey just let it sit and it should stiffen back up! soo now its a hard club..Yay!

Zombie head stomping MIGHT work, but I'd rather run away and come back with a shank or a club.

That is to say, IF I wasn't close to my home, in which case I would come back packin' SEVERE heat.

Besides that, I don't go anywhere (except airports, schools, and other places with metal detectors) without my tactical folder. I can draw and open that beast in about 1/2 seconds, and I think a blade would work better for destroying brains than a boot.

Use a reverse "Icepick" grip for extra power and put your weight into it!

I'm not exactly sure how curb stomping kills, but it seems like you break the victims neck, not really crush their skull.

If that's the case, it might not work on a zombie.

by **noncyr** » Mon Jul 19, 2004 10:20 am

"Excuse me, Mr. Zombie sir? Would you mind lying down and putting your teeth on this curb please?"

"BRAINS!!!"

"Oh...Okay then."

Now, if you could pick the curb up and beat the shambler to death with it, that's another story.

by **ghostface** » Mon Jul 19, 2004 12:07 pm

If they're Dawn '78 zombiess, it'd be pretty easy to get 'em on the curb.

Dawn '04 on the other hand... :cry:

just knock them down. i dont know that it definatley has to be on a curb. i just know it's called curbing. but a strong man with a mean pair of docs could do some real damage. not that you want to do that to a zombie. or do it to anyone. it's an awful thing to do. if they are slow moving romero zombies you could probably duck your head & run through them. dodging them as best you can. my plan is to beat it. i'm not fighting anything if i can help it.

by **Bingo** » Mon Jul 19, 2004 5:39 pm

I dont have a pair of docs i have a pair of bates

If they're slow moving dawn '78 zombies, you could skip through them with a basket of flowers singing 'this land is you land' and they'd prolly back out of your way and make a path for you. It happened too often in that movie. zombies getting out of people's and vehicle's paths. It was annoying.

Back to the origional topic, it bugged me that nobody really answered his question and instead kept saying "well you'd always have a weapon"

How bout this hypathetical situation: You've gotten lost in the desert. Maybe a salt flat or something. Someplace that has a hard ground and no rocks handy that you can pick up. Nothing you can use as a weapon. You are being pursued by a lone zombie. You can't outrun it because it's hot and you can't run very far without resting. So fleeing is out of the question. What do you do? how can you dispatch this zombie with no weapons? Would stomping on it's head work? remember, this is a completely hypathetical situation, let's not argue about details like how you got into it and so forth. Now go:

Agreed. Those actors needed a little better training for the parts. I think the 1990 version of NOTLD that Savini directed was done a little better.

I think it's best to just run but hey... I guess you never know.

Someone go get a coconut, their boots and a camera and post up the results.

Don't stomp on the camera.
