I believe "catapulted" was the word. Imagine a 4X8 sheet of plywood on the roof of a car with Mr. Pro-Life at one end and a guy jumping onto it at the other.

they way I read it is that it was the action of another person that caused Ed to fall.  He wasn't some kid going our for a joyride or trying to get on the mtv jackass show; the car was not running and in park.  Had the guy not jumped on the car, Ed would have been fine.

 

When Mr. Snell tried to counsel the woman, his words were cut short when the man became furious, jumped the fence and, in the words of Mr. McTernan, “leaped on the vehicle with Ed and catapulted him off of the vehicle and onto the ground.” Mr. Snell hit his back and head on the pavement and was knocked unconscious.
