You're right, a man falling face first on the asphalt does make a "splat" sound. Reminds me of Ranger School, first week, I think. It hadn't rained enough to keep the mud in the low crawl pit soupy enough to fully submerge, so the friendly RI folks were nice enough to water it for us. Anyway, after the low crawl through the mud, we'd have the pleasure of the log climb. Needless to say, it's pretty slippery and gets increasingly worse as more and more men go up, over and down. One guy falls from the top, lands head first and lays unconscious. Word was he broke his back. RI shouts out "fuckin' pussy. Get this fuck'in pussy outta here. " Anyway, that's how I remember it more than 40 years later, and I'm sticking to my story.
WE NEED MORE RANGERS!
