Im·pact (ĭm'păkt')
[From Latin impāctus, past participle of impingere, to push against.]
A force, also known as impulsive force, which acts only during a short time interval but which is sufficiently large to cause an appreciable change in the momentum of the system on which it acts. The momentum change produced by the impulsive force is described by the momentum-impulse relation.
Imagine 145 kg + 60 kg + 80 kg being dragged on the hot asphalt due to turbulence in an otherwise streamlined motion. id est. [that is to say] a system containing 2 people A & B and one two wheeler [Brand Z], which on getting chipped by a stationary system [an out of view heavy tri wheeler the ones used to transport goods not people which is conveniently out of order in the middle of the road] goes out of hand and as a result the described event takes place.
But , we are here not to talk about the physics , but rather the thoughts that crossed the mind of the individual B
But before that a word about A
A is a gifted driver who is quite quick and is capable of making split second decisions, which did reduce the extent of damage on the participants.
May his GOD bless Him.
The individual B is slightly on the heavier side. He is a headstrong ATHEIST, and believed that in the scenario of an accident he would leap with his friend to safety before they go down, and would eat his HAT if proved wrong [he is gagging on his hat now].
Now let’s examine his thoughts, at the source he took protective gear for the first time, and as usual the thought of an accident hadn’t crossed his mind. They made good time in the sun and then it happened like falling dominoes one event leading to another, they decided to overtake a bus from the right, but unfortunately a heavy three-wheeler was right where they never imagined it to be. And thanks to some impressive maneuvering on the drivers part most of the bike cleared the stationary three-wheeler but still due to excessive weight a little part dint [A adds new insight as he stated that the cause for turbulence was a car hitting from behind and not the tri wheeler] and as a result chipped it and due to the momentum and the newly introduced turbulence the 2 wheeler skidded and got dragged along the asphalt this was after the two riders got “ejected”. Now in mid air the first thought in the mind of B is “helplessness” all his self assumed grandeur now just a faceless whisper, he was just like a rag doll at the mercy forces which he never fathomed before, in that fraction of a second all he experienced was pure primal fear[mortal fear] … and yet before he could blink he was on the road helpless to move… and then it hit him… he was flung from the bike...he then got up, moved to the corner of the road, and then the pain hit him, immense pain and relief at the same time…
Both A & B are fine they escaped with just superficial wounds
I guess this is an experience of sorts…
Id est. [that is to say] experiencing fear first hand…
PS the Driver insists that the system was hit on the rear end by a 3rd party (a car) which set the events in motion.
