How are you comparing a 500kg horse to a 20kg piece of luggage? That's more than order of magnitude less, plus luggage doesn't tend to be propped up high on legs.

    Does the concept of surface area not exist to you?

    Getting crushed by a horse may be survivable, but a battery bouncing up and hitting your head isn’t going to be.

    Why would you think it would stay only on the floor? The horse would fall over likely and only take the feet out. So that’s not as dangerous in that situation either. But neither are the only possibility.
