Default Would you get wetter...

...if you walked through rain, or ran through it?

Assuming thr rain is falling at a constant state and all over things being equal.

i remember they did a test on Brainiac if thats what its called with Hammond a few years back and im sure it was close but running gets you more wet.
To be honest its pointless info as im either in a car or wearing some sort of waterproof clothing if im on my bike

I remembered it the other way around, running = less wet

I think if you run in it for a minute you get just as wet as walking in it for a minute....the advantage of running is that you're only in it for 30 seconds....and it's only your front that's wet!

SUrely its due to time of exposure as opposed to movement techinique.
