I only meant that as some way of getting an intuitive experimental idea of what is being talked about and I do believe it is good for that. Don't worry, it wouldn't be inaccurate to describe me as a physicist, I might not be an expert on this exactly but I have at least some idea, just trying to help explain.

When you describe dropping things onto a surface (toe, stomach etc) and the resulting pain/damage it is probably better to talk about pressure (stress) as area of contact is important. But again not something most people are fluent in.

When I was about 15 I was at Wet'nWild World (or whatever it is called) at the Gold Coast. I jumped off a bridge which went over the tyre tube floaty creek thing. For some reason I thought the water was fairly deep. Turned out I had jumped from feet about 2 or 3m above the water with straight legs into something about knee deep. I remember standing there frozen stiff with burning pain in my hip sockets unable to move for some time. Walked it off though...heheh
