If you can survive a fall from that height onto a pavement, then you could survive being hit with that tire rim. Probably...he has severe skull fracture + brain hemorrhaging, but...these things are survivable.

That is the dumbest analogy I've ever read.

You should go to school and learn physics then.
In basic relativity, it doesn't matter if a massive object hits you, or you hit a massive object.

Acceleration/Deceleration matters.

A car going 100 miles an hour crashing head on into another identical car moving 100 miles in opposite direction is the same as a car going 100 miles an our and hitting a brick wall.

Tell that to the passengers of the opposite car....

The passengers in the opposite car would agree that the impact was as good as hitting a brick wall at 100 miles an hour. I don't even understand why are you arguing against physics? Are you a flat earther? A severely Christian perhaps?

PS:
To some physics enthusiasts ill leave this Mythbusters episode:


And with cars:

Actually it would be slightly worse. But we're comparing apples to oranges here.

A man's neck vs. a ton of steel is not the same as two identical cars traveling in opposite directions. ...or any brick walls which may be involved.

You're welcome to prove your knowledge of physics if you have any heavy objects lying around.

my neck is extremely strong + it is emblazoned with a tattoo of two cars colliding head on. so yeah. pretty similar in fact depending on who is involved. bottom line = don't fuck with me or else

Not only the rim hammered his head but it broke also his right foot.

It's not apples and oranges. My first comment said that the mass doesn't matter in that case, velocity/acceleration does. Getting hit with that steel rim the way he did, is roughly equal to the guy standing on top of the truck, and falling down headfirst on top of the steel rim. In both cases...injuries would be severe, and he could break his neck. That's also why simply losing your balance, and falling head first onto the pavement is so dangerous...it doesn't look as bad as the scenario in this video...but it isn't far off. You literally get hit in the face with a planet.
