Can a wind blow so strong to knock you off your feet?

How fast would wind have to travel to blow a 75 pound person away?

  • Since I am scared of wind, I decided to find out if it could blow me away at my current weight. I don't really know how much I weigh, but I'm pretty sure it's around 75 pounds. I've been out in like... 40 or 50 (I'm not really sure if that's true.) MPH, and I could stay on my feet, but I could barely walk in the direction that the wind wasn't going. The point is... I NEED AN ANSWER!

  • Answer:

    it really depends on the amount of surface area you are presenting to the wind. If you are wearing a really big jacket that can catch the wind it would take a lot less wind. I know you wanted an answer, but i don't have one.
