Exclamation " 20 feet or 6 inches?"

I've heard that today's Daily Telegraph (page 11) headlines "Hovering Helicopter Hurled Hotel Guest 20 Feet". How much downdraught is needed do hurl a 6 stone mass (42 Kgs) a distance of 20 feet?

Lu, would you like to comment?

Who measured it, the lady in question - who might have been told that two inches should always be called six - or the expert prosecutor?
