>Don't horses routinely kill people with a single kick to the head?
Horses are much bigger and much better at kicking. On the other hand, a horse can kill you with a kick to the torso, so in theory a deer kick to the head could fuck you up. Deer aren't going to actually kick you in the head reliably though, while almost any hit from an armed man will end a deer.

>I don't think that a human pedestrian would walk away from a typical car crash.
At 20 mph, a human can absolutely just pick themselves up and be basically fine unless they were really unlucky and landed badly. I've been hit be a bus about that speed and it wasn't pleasant, but I was ready to stand up immediately (until people stopped me until the ambulance arrived), and I walked out of the hospital a few hours later. But deer typically go straight into shock and die from such low-velocity collisions. They are stupidly delicate.

No, it doesn't.

>most things just die from any serious injury, but importantly not instantly.
Deer die quick. They are very prone to shock.

>I don't think a 21ST (the actual realistic max strength for a human despite what the book says) human could beat a horse very easily
The fact that such a character could beat a horse quite easily should indicate that they aren't remotely realistic. A ST 21 guy could wrestle lions, bears, and gorillas. Anything above about 15 is probably cinematic or mythical (but still possible for 'normal' humans is ridiculous pulp novels and comics).
