Interesting. Studies have conclusively shown that the faster you move the wetter you get. Simple example: drive a car at 2 MPH in light rain and you don’t get that much rain on your windscreen. Drive at 60 in the same rain and your windshield will definitely get more rain. A study was done weighing people wearing dry clothes that walked through sprinklers and were weighed after versus the same people in the same clothes that ran. The runners weighed more.
