I can imagine the whole equal and opposite reaction thing when half the reaction is travelling through several body armored bodies, but what I am not sure of is how to think of 200 ft pounds of energy. Is that the same a someone dropping 200 pounds from a height of one foot onto my shoulder? And is that the same as dropping one pound from 200 feet onto my shoulder?
In either case, no thanks.
