Good God. Direct hit. There was nothing left of that guy. Good thing his death was instant though. :(

When the Almighty decides to call you home, like, right now.

And RNJesus is not with you, as you fail your saving throw catastrophically.

Guardian angel is like, "Dude! WTF! I looked away for, like, one minute!"

I thought that. Given also that he was rich enough to have a cuirass in the first place, he may have been. Or he could have been on foot and caught a bouncer.

Worst part was probably that, given the size and relatively low velocities, he probably saw it in the last split second before impact. Maybe even instinctively started to try to lean back away from it.

"Well, fuck."
