      In a head on collision you can say from the point of impact both cars are one.

      Meaning they are now shearing each others crumple zones.

      If you follow newtons laws mathematically a train will have stopped dead on impact with a fly.
      Think you'll find newtonian physics always has the mass of object/s included somewhere in the mathematical equation.
      Best to remind yourself before you launch yourself as part of a hollow projectile, that the human body was never designed to decelerate at speeds higher than at a running-pace!

        You know you just corrected him, and then said exactly the same thing, only with more words? :-p

          No matter how Newtons law is applied and interpreted it doesnt stop accidents.
          Fly vs train. Fearless Fly would stop the train.
