A deceleration of 32.66142m/s/s hence Gwen decelerates at this, which is equal to 3.33G. Skydivers etc experience this force, hence it's safe enough that it wouldn't have killed her. His web could have more elasticity, which would just lessen the force, but assuming that it has the least elasticity of a spider web, the deceleration would not have killed her. Hence, Gwen Stacy should still be alive today. I had to come up with this and present it at University, they said it was all accurate.

Gwen's mass (from “Spider-Man: Marvel Encyclopedia”) is given as 130Ibs. Which converts to 58.76Kg. Tower Height of Brooklyn Bridge is given as 84.2772m
Height of Road is given as 36.2712m (assuming she falls from the top to about road height)
Fall is 48.006m, a=9.8m/s, u=0. Therefore v^2=u^2 +2as gives v=30.67m/s, We've seen from comics that spidey's web has elasticity, assuming he built it to spider specifications, that gives at LEAST a 30% increase in length. This would give (cont'd)

wow nerd humor is the best. iun the rare case i understand it...

The Death of Gwen Stacy ended the Silver Age of Comics....

If I had learned physics using examples with super heroes I would have done so much better in that course.

Aww imagine how Peter felt when she dies

I don't know what he said but this made alot of sense.

I wish there was a class in college just on superhero physics.

@fightnight909 Gerry Conway, the writer of that story thought it would have much more power if spider-man had inadvertantly caused her death. He wrote about the whole issue in Marvel Masterworks amazing spider-man vol 13. It fit right in with the guilt spidey carries for his uncle's death as well.

Gerry Conway, the writer of that story said in Marvel Masterworks vol 13 that, once and for all, he intended for her neck to have been broken. He said the point was that it was a no win scenario and sometimes bad things happen.

It'll add to the storyline if they have Gwen Stacey killed in the new Spider-Man reboot, The Amazing Spider-Man.
