Simple: When it rains, do you get more wet from walking or running?

Mythbusters is a very strong point - i missed that episode.

 

That was actually an episode they revisited and found out they were wrong.

I watch Mythbusters all the time and remember this episode. Was about to respond regarding it when I saw your post.

 

Well damn, I never saw the revisited episode.

I did try it and I seemed to get wetter by walking.

 

These studies assume that rain is a constant.

But what if its raining lightly and looks like its could rain really hard?

If its raining lightly I reckon its better to run just in case it starts raining hard.

 

Excellent answer.

You're brilliant!

 

Would you be better walking into the wind or slaloming across to avoid more drops perhaps?
If you've only got a shower proof jecket, then would it be better to run whilst it stil deflects the water, but then slow as it becomes saturated.

Personally, I like walking in the rain, so I take my time.
