The other thing to remember is that damage scales as the square of the
mass ratio which is why you should never pick a fight with an HGV.

Another suspect statement.

If damage is proportional to energy dissipated, then kinetic energy is
1/2 m v(^2), so proportional to mass but proportional to square of
speed.

But I agree with "you should never pick a fight with an HGV".
Or if you must, make sure it is a *very* slowly moving HGV?
