Answer 1

Get a friend to punch you hard in the arm (or whatever body part you prefer). A bruise will form due to blood leaking from damaged capillaries into the surrounding tissue. A train or a car hits a lot harder than your friend can and will easily cause a lot more damage because of it. And, if that damage is done to your internal organs, that can interfere with their functioning and kill you.
