The storm occurring near Moradabad; India; on 30 April; 1888. This hail event is said to have killed as many as 246 people with hailstones as large as ‘goose eggs and oranges’ and cricket balls. A secondary event (discovered by one of the committee) in Nanking; China; in 1932 reported that 200 people were killed and thousands injured by a hailstorm that struck in Honan Province (NCAR 1970; Pickard 1932).
Ook als ge bijv. googled op cows killed by hail vindt ge wel wat berichten terug. Dus ja, als het een koe kan vellen, kan het zeker ook een mens vellen. Dat is zoals een steniging he. Als het niet de eerst grote bol is die u velt doordat hij bijv. op uw slaap terechtkomt, is het wel het constante inbeuken op uw lichaam dat u uiteindelijk zal neerkrijgen. Het gaat dan wel over uitzonderlijk grote hagelbollen natuurlijk.
De impact hangt blijkbaar ook van heel veel factoren af:

There are numerous formulas and equations for the calculation of the terminal velocity of hailstones. ... The shape and surface properties of a hailstone affect its drag coefficient that significantly influences the terminal velocity of a given hailstone. Here, even the number and size of lobes have different effects.
Aside from the properties of the hailstones themselves, another significant effect is the air density...Consideration of air density, humidity, pressure, and temperature do impact hailstone velocity but require very specific knowledge of each of these variables for more specific and refined calculations.
Another effect that was investigated is the effect of wind on the resulting velocity of hailstones. Strong winds are a common accompanying effect with hailfalls. Wind can accelerate a hailstone above is terminal velocity, making this effect relevant for material testing and other fields that need to work with hail impact velocities.
Allez, het is duidelijk dat het kan, maar dan moet precies wel echt alles tegenzitten.
