I would like to wrap a friend in bubble wrap and then punch him hard. If he screams, then it means that the bubble wrap did not do its job.
After some time, I would also like to wrap the said friend with MORE bubble wrap and then ask him to jump from the 1st floor of a building. If he lives, I would like to continue the my scientific exploration by going higher. All these results would be plotted on a graph to make it decipherable to the common man.
