Example: Could a fire hose really support the weight of a falling man?Could a fire hose really support the weight of a falling man?

It seems to me that this isn't really a question about movies or T.V. It's a question about physics triggered by a scene in a movie.

Movies and T.V. often require a willing suspension of disbelief, and questions about plausibility of items like this are irrelevant to the plot of the movie. You could easily ask a dozen such questions about any movie or T.V. show. (In some movies, in the hundreds.)

Just because a question is triggered by a movie scene doesn't make the question about movies, does it?

Are questions about "is x possible in real life" on topic?
