I have a theory that you would need considerably less depth of strawberry blancmange than water were you to dive into it. Despite years of campaigning the government has yet to undertake a full-scale experiment. The bloody fools. Unless there was a sudden craze for swimming pools filled with strawberry blancmange, I have sympathy for their viewpoint.
Using strawberry blancmange as a test material to produce a chart for safe diving depths in water, would require extensive calculations to ensure the figures could be reliably transposed from one medium to another.
If, at some point in the future of space exploration, a planet is discovered, that has seas of strawberry blancmange, it is unlikely that even then they will find it's lack a problem.
The wearing of a space suit would undoubtably introduce a variable into the equations that would render any Earth based research pointless, never mind any vagaries of gravity.
It's been done with a swimming pool full of custard. Custard is very odd stuff. I'll find a link later...

I'll find a link later... aaaahhh!!! but has there been any attempt to make a conversion chart for different viscosities of the medium ? I mean there is an enourmous difference between milk based puddings, I mean, would you dive into a pool of strawberry blancmange knowing that the safety rules were based on custard ? I mean that would almost be as dangerous as basing the research on a swimming pool full of Instant Whip

Can't speak for blancmange but you can walk on custard as this irritating twat will demonstrate...

when I was at uni in the 60's the dean of the civil engineering faculty was doing research on non-Newtonian liquids. The most abundant example was blood.
Nice.

Jesus was years ahead with the custard trick.

I love hammocks and quite regularly sleep in mine hanging across the balcony. Not used it inside home or the boat though. I have thought about welding some form of clip in the van and using a hammock in there. Sons plan is to attach 2 thingys(forget what he called them) to put hammock up for any friends to sleep in in the van.. Not for me I have a small settee he made..just as well I'm small
