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

1.04K 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.

Forehead is actually very hard. You can easily break your hand punching full force into someone’s forehead. The idea of headbutt is using your forehead to hit your opponent’s face (mainly to break their nose), not forehead to forehead clashing which will cause some ugly damage to both.
