lol..you do not go to school do you... newtens law of phisics would describe to you why people in the first do not die....as for the second it is reallistic. if you are on the road and i suddenly go 30 miles an hour and hit you you are goingh to die, or be very hurt like in halo 2 sometimes it just results in your sheild going down...
So Newton's laws of physics says that if you are running along a road and I come from behind you in a car going 80mph, you will live? However, if you are standing still and I'm in the same car stopped, I can kill you while I'm accelerating? I don't doubt that a person could be killed by the second scenario, but I'm pretty sure scenario one would even have a better chance at killing a person. I think in your argument, you are thinking of Newton's second law:
II. The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector.
However, I think it would be easier if Bungie just used his third:
III. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
If you get hit buy a vehicle...you get splattered.
