ORIGINAL: fadedshadow is there anything i could do so that i bruise more deeply when caned? Disclaimer: THE REPLY DOESN'T SPEAK TO THE MERITS, OR LACK OF MERITS, OF FAT. PS - I'm not a doctor but base this position purely on first hand, actually first cane (giving) experience. FAT doesn't bruise - tissue or muscle does. Cane bruising is greater when the caned target has less fat. The other variables are mass and speed. As I mentioned, preferring the 'whippy' canes; the strips I leave are not commonly "deep", unless I want them to be by applying more power (speed). That acrylic one I mentioned was very thick and heavy and with very little power - made a deep bruise. So the answer is BRUISE = Mass of cane x Velocity at impact. I'm sure there is a mathematical formula for this process; however if not - I'm willing to take on a long range study with say, 100 or so, victims - I mean 'subjects' - to establish force to fat proportional guidelines to avoid, or if desired generate, cane bruises. I'm ready to take on this exhausting work if someone wants to give me a grant to do the necessary (VERY necessary) research. I think it's something that it would be a great 'pork project' for one of the members of Congress from either SF or the Village district in NYC.
