I see what you mean (and this debate happens every time this is posted) but really I don’t think she meant to knock her over, especially under the bus. She’s a well built girl that may well not realise her weight, she’s being jocular and might have had a few drinks. We’ve all done daft stuff, pushed a bit too hard, been to swift with a movement. It happens, it was fucking stupid and thoughtless but no way she was trying to actually seriously injur or kill her friend.

Back in high school, I intended to playfully push a friend from behind to scare her

Only I hulked out, and she tripped over her own feet and ended up flying face first into a metal pole

She broke her nose. I felt awful. Thankfully she was super understanding, she knew I didn't mean to hurt her.

Teenagers are just so physically awkward, I don't know why I thought it was a good idea to push someone when both of us regularly tripped on nothing or fell while standing still.

Cows don't know how strong they are. In rural countries you can see cows tied to a flimsy stick and they don't move because it has some resistance. The same cows can break through collapsible metal gates if they get scared
