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

1.28K 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.

It really does work. Aim the top of your head into a soft part of their face. I’ve done it to a bigger guy than me who was throwing his weight around, he gripped my shirt with 2 hands and pulled me in towards him, I just followed through. I felt his nose crunch against my skull, it didn’t hurt me one bit. Here’s a video of a well executed headbutt: https://youtu.be/Z5mxUebiwgY
