IF a fly hit your windscreen while doing 100km/h (the car, not the fly) he would be worse off than hitting a stationary object? I have witnessed both with my own eyes ..... trying to get out through a kitchen window compared to hitting my windscreen.
I look at is as common sense and not a formula that can be manipulated to make the fly bounce off the cars window and happily go about its day .... unless common sense has been replaced by an equation?

When i was a kid i used to put flys in my air rifle and shoot them at walls (and people).. they made an awful mess and stung like crazy! Much like sticking your head out of a car window or riding a bike at 100kph and coping one in the face..
The fly couldn't "fly" fast enough itself to do that kind of damage though, it needed "supercharging" from compressed air to help!
But i digress...
