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

1.27K 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.

As a young man playing pick up football I was involved in a head to head collision with another player. I hit my head on the crowd above my forehead. The other guy hit right above his eye in the area of his eyebrow. I had a mild concussion and a bruise. His brow exploded, bone visible, blood everywhere, requiring multiple stitches. Later in life he chose to have some plastic surgery to repair the scarring.
