Imagine an event: a person's body is perfectly immobile and safe while moving at a high speed, as in a vehicle. Vehicle stops instantly, and the person's body, being safe and immobile, doesn't suffer external force.
What I'm wondering is how the internal transfer of kinetic energy would affect tissues, organs, and organism as a whole, especially the nervous system; blood, cells, organs etc. would still hit each other and damage would be made. The speed would be somewhere near the threshold of causing irreversible damage to the brain, but I don't know how localized that would be.
- how could such a damage affect the brain, perception, cognition etc.?
- would other organs be affected, and how?
It doesn't have to be scientifically proven data, just ideas for what might be plausible in a story.
Thanks in advance.
