[QUOTE="mdk777, post: 1605264, member: 96764"] pick up truck runs into vw bug head on. Both vehicles absorb the same amount of energy...your equal and opposite observation. since f=mxa The guy in the truck has more mass, he sees less acceleration.=he lives The guy in the VW has much less mass...hence absorbing the exact equal amount of energy...his vehicle not only de-accelerates, but rebounds in the opposite direction causing whiplash. Driver in the smaller vehicle "feels" this rapid acceleration as his neck breaking. less mass, smaller guy is going to feel more rapid movement from recoil, usually more painful, as previous poster mentioned. Your experience may vary. Perhaps light guy is all relaxed muscle and big guy is weak fat....but that has nothing to do with the basic recoil. [/QUOTE]
