What concession? The scans you just posted basically show Thor hitting the ground head first, that's far more damaging than landing on your back.Thanks for proving that Thor's feat is far more impressive.
LoL, so wrong. Look at the pics and try some objective reasoning for once instead of Thorboying it. His outward flight would have negated some if not all of his downward momentum while free-falling, then he crashes at and angle and deflects, far different than crashing straight down, which the Hulk would have since he has no real way of controlling himself.

How does traveling at an angle negate his speed?

Rob, what's your stance on this fight?
Comes down to Hulk and Thor, as the others would be little more than canon fodder to Hulk or a nuisance (IM).
If Thor fights (like a brick) him like he did on the carrier, he's likely getting his ass smashed into the ground, as it took both of his arms and legs to push off one of Hulk's fist/arm in that fight.
If Thor flies and uses his other abilities, he likely wins.

His terminal speed was downward, his flying outward (ie a different direction) under his control to some degree would negate some if not all, likely not all as he still crashed sideways like a dunce.
It's a supreme feat of durability, but it's not a free fall all the way down as Hulk would have likely done.

If he is flying under his own power, like you are claiming, then how do you know he lost any speed?
Hell, he could have been moving faster, seeing as we know that he can fly faster than the speed of sound.

If we're to go by physics, "acceleration due to gravity is constant". Meaning that regardless how much force he exerted to go sideways, his downward momentum should more or less still remain the same. If he flew straightly parallel to the ground (straight sideways) then his downward momentum should remain the same. If he flew at even a slightly downward angle, then he would have added to his downward velocity.
But then if the above were true, he also should have hit the ground at the same time as the cage... which he did not. I believe he hit the ground about a second after the cage, so I concede that his flight did slow his flight... but not by much.
Hitting the ground at around 600 kph instead of 630 kph doesn't make much of a difference.
Also to the poster that said Hulk landed in concrete... he landed on a warehouse... which means that he first hit the roof, brought down the ceiling with him, before landing on concrete.

Actually, if he was falling at an angle and the cage was going straight down, then the cage would have hit first as it had less distance to move.
Try measuring the distance from the top of a door straight to the ground, now measure the distance from the top of door to the ground 10 feet away from the door.
So you're saying that while Thor is flying, he can't overcome the force of gravity? I don't think so.
It's clear in the those pics, his flying outward softened his crash and he clearly didn't accelerate himself to crash harder, he's a big dumb blonde, but he's not a retard.
Thor wasn't flying at 370 mph when he hit, not even close.

LoL, common sense.

He broke out to save himself, he didn't break out to crash equally as hard and certainly not harder. Just stop typing now.

If he was trying to dtop himself from falling, why would he fly at a slower speed than he was falling?
Changing direction and slowing himself down is what he managed. Which is the better option than just sitting in the cage and hitting straight down with full force, what the Hulk was forced to do.
Hulk also wasn't knocked out when he landed, the janitor tells Bruce that the Hulk was awake after the fall, iirc. Seems the fall tired him and he reverted/slept.

From what I remember, the Janitor tells him he was still in Hulk form when he landed, not that he was awake. But even if he was awake when he landed, the fact that he didn't move from the crash site implies that Hulk was hurt enough to eventually get knocked out and revert back to Banner.
