Message: [QUOTE="Get a Job, post: 4226013, member: 9775"] As far as physics goes, [USER=55]@businesslawyer[/USER] is exactly correct. Whatever force one object experiences is equally experienced by the other object in the collision. But that only addresses the force. Inertia plays an important role in this case, because of the significant difference in mass between the two "objects". Finally, and probably most importantly, this is not a collision between billiard balls. The impact occurred between two radically different-sized and -shaped sacks of meat. While it's of course true that simple physics describes what happens in such a collision, the physiology of the colliders and the exact circumstances of the impact play a much more relevant role than the masses and velocities.
