Which gets you wetter ....?

Question

Walking or running ?

Is it correct to presume that by running through a rainstorm you will get less wet ...or do you get hit by the same number of raindrops ?

Answer 1

if its for a certain period of time walking wud get u less wet but if its for a certain distance running wud get u less wet as u wud be indoors quicker

Answer 2

Mythbusters say that you'll get wetter when running instead of walking. I guess that depends on the distance you have to walk or run.

Answer 3

If you ran enough to get OUT of the rainstorm, then you wouldn't be in it as long so wouldn't get as wet as if you walked through it and didn't make it to the dry end....

Answer 4

Walking, it clearly varies but in general compare your journey when you are still to when the rain is still (opposite relative situations).

Answer 5

I remember watching a bit of a programme on SKY ONE, can't remember what it was, but they did this and found you got wetter when you ran.  Can't remember why though!

Answer 6

walking, more rain because you go slower for longer which means more rain will hit you

Answer 7

Less! As you would reach cover quicker by running than you would by walking. Walking would expose you longer to rainstorm. Not however if your walking a shorter distance than you were running you would get wetter running. Lol

Question has no logic... does not equate.

Answer 8

Walking.

Experimental and theoretical evidence cited below.

Answer 9

Walking cos you are in the rain longer.

Answer 10

running.

Answer 11

Well running, you'd get hit by many different drops, becuase each drop from each meter you run across hits you but walking it takes longer so i think equal.
