I can't hazard a guess, but I'm more worried about acceleration with a minus sign - like when I am moving at 12 fps and stop dead when I hit the bump. If F=Ma, and a is going from 12 to zero in an umptosecond, F is going to have some serious magnitude regardless of M.

I am seriously working to get our CoM below 6 inches.
