How did Max's back scrape paint off the banister? I know my skin is much harder and tougher and I know I couldn't do it even if I pushed really hard or someone else pushed me really hard.
The probability that Max's scooter caused the damage to banister paint is more scientifically valid. Imo, he rode the scooter close to the dip in the banister and was catapulted over. The scooter must have come into contact with his back or he landed on it and that caused the characteristic razor scooter shaped "seven" abrasion to his back. Imo, the seven shape on his back corresponded to the shape of the Razor scooter. The stair railing wasn't a "seven" configuration so it could not have caused the injury. Jmoo.
Yes! That seems to be a problem. I still can't figure out how the bansiter matches up to the back injuries either. I can't see how anyone has some convoluted theory that Max was now dragged over the banister with his scooter, so the scooter made the paint damage and the banister made the marks on his back.
I still have to believe he put the scooter onto the bannister and tried to grab it... falling off and slinging the scooter (bakwards?), maybe the handlebars stuck in the chandelier enough to pull it down, and Max landed on the side of the scooter causing the "7 shape. I think he could have even landed on it and bounced off it somewhat flipping the scooter so it ended up on his leg.
IDK, but Melinek's scenario just makes way less sense than the original accident description did. Why the heck can't they propose something that makes more sense. If not, then back up their claims with diagrams and animations. Furthermore, try to make sense of them in light of the major injury that was fatal.
