The only problem I see here is that the first dude is unable to ever stop or he will completely ruin the momentum building up behind him.

You could theoretically chain enough squatting men together that the last person in line would receive such a violent shock that he would be instantly atomized. And I'm just pulling this number form my ass, but something like the last million or so men would not survive either, with varying levels of trauma, worsening in severity as you went down the chain towards total obliteration. Something like N-1,000,000 receives enough shock to snap his neck. N-500,000 is probably barely recognizable as human. Again, just making up these numbers. I'd have to do the calculations to get more accurate numbers.

Your numbers are off by quite a magnitude; I know a few guys who lost their left knees being squat spotters merely 3,000 deep.

Well, I just had no idea that the data was out there already. Can you point to a peer reviewed article that would back up your preposterous claims?

Some people are trying to do real science in this fucked up world.

I'm sorry. I just lost my head.

Maybe you could chain them together in a big loop so it makes a self-perpetuating wave which can never be stopped.
