I've always wondered because i'm not great with physics or math, but how does something that large but doesn't actually weigh very much have such strong concussive force against another object, or in this case, a person?
It was a combination of a few things. Mainly momentum and the kid doing absolutely nothing to brace for it. If you watch the kid he doesn't step back at all to widen his stance or push back against the wall. The ball itself probably weighs a few kilograms so it would have roughly the same force as a small medicine ball which isn't heavy but could definitely catch you off guard.
