IMO this is clearly not the case since the images in the report not even represent a serious simulation. Let's dive a little into it because not many seem to recognize the problem that these illustrations represent.
Time zero represents the moment when the cylinder strikes the bedroom floor. At this moment the blue cylinder has a speed of 10m/s and the orange cylinder a speed of 25m/s.
As we will see later, these two speeds have a reason. They are not randomly chosen values.

From the moment of impact to standstill, the blue cylinder moves for 1.8ms at an average speed of 5m/s.
The orange cylinder moves for 2ms at an average speed of 15ms and then another 2.2ms at an average speed of 2.5m/s.
The orange cylinder moves for 2ms at an average speed of 15ms and then another 2.2ms at an average speed of 2.5m/s.
distance = velocity * time
So the blue cylinder moves 0.0018s * 5m/s = 0.009m and the orange one 0.002s * 15m/s + 0.0022 * 2.5m/s = 0.0355m into the ground. Due to elasticity the movement is reversed and the cylinders reach a final speed of ~1m/s (orange) and ~2m/s (blue).
So the blue cylinder moves 0.0018s * 5m/s = 0.009m and the orange one 0.002s * 15m/s + 0.0022 * 2.5m/s = 0.0355m into the ground. Due to elasticity the movement is reversed and the cylinders reach a final speed of ~1m/s (orange) and ~2m/s (blue).
We can now ask how far a cylinder can jump. Depending on the angle, the speed is divided into two components. The vertical component sin(v0) fights against gravity. The horizontal component cos(v0) remains constant.
As a result, the cylinder can jump furthest at an angle of 45°.
As a result, the cylinder can jump furthest at an angle of 45°.
So we come to the conclusion that the blue cylinder can jump a maximum of 40cm far and 10cm high. If we consider that the cylinder already sticks 1cm deep in the ground, then 39cm wide and 9cm high are left.

If you try the same calculation for the orange cylinder, then online calculators go on strike. This is because this cylinder can only jump 2.5cm high at most. But it is stuck in a 3.5 cm deep hole that it has punched itself.
In other words, this cylinder is not jumping anywhere.

Now, let's have a look at the conclusion of the final FFM report.
Does anybody think that there were experts or at least engineers or physicists at work?

I think everyone will have noticed that the slow blue cylinder jumps a little bit further than the faster orange one. And it hits the floor of the about 3 meters high bed room with only 10m/s.
7.7m/s it would have been fast if it had simply fallen from the roof into the room.
7.7m/s it would have been fast if it had simply fallen from the roof into the room.
If the cylinder had been dropped from the roof through a hole into the room, we would have the blue case.
...or a helicopter just happened to have the precise altitude that all energy was swallowed by this exact roof, so the cylinder practically stopped before it fell again.

In mathematics, it's called a threshold value. This means that an even slower fall does not exist.
And as we have seen, the orange cylinder is also a limit value because its hole is already deeper than it can jump up.

So the alleged FFM simulation covers all possible cases. There is nothing !!! that is not represented by this simulation image. And yet the report claims the opposite, absurd nonsense, like Forensic Architecture, Bellingcat, all those who try to discredit Henderson's results.
One final thought: if the cylinder could not possibly jump through the room as proven by the FFM, what destroyed the shower enclosure?
