How does head butting someone in the head with your own head ever work

1.11K viewsOtherPhysics

I see this shit in movies all the time and it always just looks insane to me. Even just basic physics should mean that the equal and opposite reaction of one skull banging into the other would knock each person out equally. How does this ever work? The character always walks away like some badass as if they wouldn’t have some major concussion and are invincible. The only use of this I ever appreciated was the parody in an Adam Sandler movie where the guy did it and did actually pass out from it.

Headbutts work, but you’re not supposed to crack your forehead into another forehead. In a fight, if you use a headbutt you’re supposed to aim for the person’s nose. Its a legit way to cause a lot of damage to someone’s face and generally end the fight then and there if done right.
