I understand this is an assignment, but I doubt you are supposed to take it literally.

You will bruise your knee most likely. It also depends on how many times “repeatedly” is, are we talking 10 or 1000? You also need to consider the distance between the knee and the point of release of the weight. Is the weight curved and/or padded or is it sharp?

GL and don’t hurt your knees!!!!!

You could do a great deal of damage. You could shatter the kneecap (patella) and pulverize the ends of the tibia and fibula, where they come together under the kneecap.

1-This would be a CRUSHING experience.

2-What was once whole is now shattered into more pieces then what you started with.

3-If it hurt, you would know.

4-I would know something was wrong when I attempt to straighten out my leg.

5-Oh….if it didn’t hurt, don’t worry about it, the drugs will kill you anyway.
