I have no idea. I have never fired the S&W 500.

No!
The S&W 500 has been known to break some of the bones in an experienced shooters hand.

But the only gun I ever heard of flying into a shooters head with enough force to cause injury before this was a 45/70 derringer.

NO WAY!The first round that I fired in my 500S&W was a 400gr.CorBon.I didn't think I would be doing much shooting with this gun after that experience!!However,I'm a re-loader and have solved that problem.I load a 335gr.jacketed HP on top of 40grs.of 4227.It still kicks,but it is very manageable!!!
