A3_7 The Trunchbull Olympics - Pigtail Hammer Throw

In the 1996 film Matilda, Amanda Thripp is thrown by her pigtails, in the style of a hammer throw, by Miss Trunchbull. Based on how long she is airborne for, we determined that she would have travelled 1086 m. To reach this distance she would also have to be spun around up to 535 RPM where her body would experience 5.89 G’s of force.
