I spent much of today discussing the mechanics of hamsters in freefall and whether one would die if you threw it off a skyscraper.
... What am I doing.

New HAV content! And lots of it. Honestly I'm worried, I don't miss the days of tank spam in the slightest. Those were the darkest time in Dust's history, in my opinion. (Remember 50-0 tanks in ambush? shudders) But vehicle players could always use more content.

I know this is a little non-sequitur (as is much stuff here, though) but I'd like to bring a sad event to your attention and a cool thing I think we can do for a well-known community member.
Cat Merc has had a very bad day.
Today, his 21 year old cat, Kesha, died. Cat was with him for his entire life. I'm sure you can understand that this is a tragic event for our fellow feline forumite.
Keshava is part of Hindu mythology, and fits Gallente naming conventions.
A great number of name vacancies have opened up with the proposed introduction of many new vehicle types.
I and a few others feel that a very nice thing to do would be to propose Keshava as a name for one of the new Gallente vehicles. I would request that you kind folks here at the registry help out by showing your support for this name at IWS' thread here.
Vote 'Keshava' for the new Gallente HAV name!

So I am going to go ahead and guess it dies, without knowing the mechanics.

Considering squirrels can kill each other while fighting in trees, throwing the other one to the ground.
Also even tiny little sugar gliders can injure themselves if they hit a branch wrong.
A hampster may have a large SA:V ratio but I doubt it's enough to prevent injury.
We'll bang, OK?

Injury, yes. Guaranteed death, no.
... I'm currently working on a hamster impact simulator with some friends. Yes, we're awful people. But if you drop a hamster into the sun, for a brief, glorious moment, it'll reach mach 20 before being incinerated!

Little known fact about hamsters; they are closely related to the Bumble, and we all know Bumbles bounce

If it landed well, and especially if it didn't hit concrete but hit something slightly softer.
In our models they often break their teeth but don't suffer organ failures or significant bone damage.

What of the teeth themselves? Would they not shatter and pierce through other parts of the hamster?

Do they make little hamster mouth guards, or would that add too much extra weight and result in death?

That'd completely imbalance the hamster, causing it to smash face first into the ground. Not a hope then.

So add a weighted butt plug so it is balanced
If you can't kill them scan them.

Please for the love of everything that is holy... do not use CCP's hamsters for a little 'test.'
We just got them replaced... I mean we just paid them.

The terminal velocity of a hamster is about twice that of a skydiver with a parachute open. Given the much increased SA:V ratio and stronger (relatively, at that scale) the hamster does not go splat as one might expect.
Although I have learned that the hamster detonates on impact at 700g. The simulator gets weird at that speed though so I could be wrong. Also, we have not been balancing the hamster. I don't think it makes a difference.

Pick the slowest hamster, use that one. Do it during down time, make the others watch.

Are you accounting for the muscular reaction of the hamster? Tensed hamster vs relaxed hamster, even movement and how they react to the fall could impact theGǪ errr impact. A relaxed hamster may fair betterGǪ this may require herbal influences.

You could give it a couple thimble fulls of vodka.
You don't want to make it paranoid before you throw it off a skyscraper.
