What have they used to calculate the figures a bag of feathers 10 kg in weight or a lump of metal 10kg in weight?

It seems to be based on an incredibly simple model. I reckon they are treating them as concentrated loads. I don't think the log graph will be very helpful to most people. It would probably be more effective to give people the formula (mgh) and the thresholds that they reckon denote the boundaries between first aid, recordable, etc.

Agree - too simplistic to be of much use.
