I have no idea what you're trying to say, but a bike going 40mph hitting a car going 40mph going in the opposite direction is like hitting a parked car at 80... If that's what you're saying then ok.

OK, I'm sure it's not a direct proportion, but it involved about ten times the force of any crash I've experienced on the track where objects are moving in the same direction, or are fixed.
Plainly now, the force of impact:
between 2 of the same-type vehicles, traveling at the same speed, colliding head-on
EQUALS
the force of 1 of those vehicles hitting a "parked car."
Paul's impact with a bigass car is WORSE than hitting a wall, because the car is more bigger.
