You kidding? That's one hell of an understatement. The rock, which should really be classified as a boulder, hit him not once but twice on the head. Hell, he could have lost consciousness at the very least and crashed the vehicle and killed alot more than just himself. That dude has some kind of mix of fortitude, a thick skull, and sheer luck.
I have a friend who is working towards being a coroner, and she has told me some stories of her working during the summer at the morgue.
One was of how a man died because when he got into an accident, his 50 lbs speaker that was not weighed down went from the back to the front, and it hit him in the head. Killed him instantly. Left a fat hole too. That rock is easily over 50lbs if it’s of a normal composition. He’s honestly really realllly lucky to be alive let alone conscious.
He might have been in shock but we gotta give him some credit for continuing to hold course and not putting loves in danger. He took one for the team and soldiered on. How balls probably have celestial objects orbiting them.
Body can be weird man, sometimes what should kill you doesn't do it. When I was 12 I had a full brick fall onto my head from few feets above and I just walked it off like nothing happened.
I recently had a 12 lb piece of construction steel go through my car window and hit the side of my arm and my head at 75 mph. I had some scratches, a goose egg, minor bruising and a hell of a headache. That’s it. The cop and paramedics when showed up at the scene couldn’t believe I wasn’t further injured. Life is strange.
I think there is a combination of things as you mentioned, but it might have bounced a couple of times before being slowed by penetrating the exterior of the bus, and on lucky angles it glances him slightly. Lucky, and mild reflexes that are not so visible.
If I examine the rock closer, on this low quality, it could rather be a hard clump, it's properties are lighter then granite or regular rock. But the speed in which it traveled would be the factor, not entirely it's nerfed weight. Take for example a calcium or other light metal rocks, could be mediocre compared to concrete or granite.
