Heavy Impacts

Recording of a heavy sack hitting the floor from a decent height. Inspired by the phrase "down like a sack of spuds" and the classic Hollywood method of dropping bags of potatoes to simulate the sound of a body hitting the floor.
Could be used for when someone collapses due to being rendered unconscious or killed, or falling from a great height. Could also be used for punches, kicks and chops. I think it has enough bite to it for a wood chop.
Sorry about the slight hiss. My microphone has a fault. It shouldn't be too hard to clean up or disguise by lowering the volume of the sound.
