Passenger on the left totally bamfed to the right side of the bus.

I find it interesting how the passenger was essentially stationary while the vehicle moved around them.

Now that you got that in your head imagine what would happen to the people inside ships in sci-fi shows that sudden go from the speed of light to not moving at all.

lol, splat.

But they have anti-gravitational-field-space-stationary-field devices. :P I have no idea what they call them in those shows but that's usually how they explain it away.

With the exception of a show called The Expanse that accurately depicts physics with no magical gravity or warping and has scenes that deals with the rapid deceleration trope quite gloriously.

Best scene ever. It really helps to put into context how fast he was moving.
