Can you replicate this impact? No, so you can only "extrapolate" and "theorize."

And indeed, there you go. What are you afraid of?

The physics of impacts is well understood as is their numerical simulation.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle.

The impact can be replicated on a smaller scale, physically, or by modeling it on a computer. The physics are consistent.
