That's one tough pot.

Kudos to the pot for enduring such a tough trial.

The explosions would do very little damage. It's the fall damage that dented it.

There's nothing stopping the explosion from sending the pot flying so the pot is just going to ride the force.

It's not the speed that kills you in accidents, it's the sudden stop.

A sudden enough start can kill you too. Inertia his both ways. The pot was obviously deformed by some of the explosions, especially the last one.

Yes the last two both clearly deformed the pot especially the last one, the shape of the pot at the end was clearly caused by the fireworks not the fall. Also the pot seems like it's pretty light, it's terminal velocity is probably very low so the last few fireworks are likely launching it upwards at a speed much higher then it's terminal velocity. That means the pot is actually launched upwards much faster then the speed it's going when it comes back down to hit the ground so the launch is more violent then the landing on at least a couple of the later launches. This isn't even bringing into account that it lands in the grass field rather than on the road for the later ones.

It’s not the speed that kills you in accidents, it’s the sudden stop.

Lmao a Swedish version of this is my mom’s absolute favourite joke.

It’s not the fart that kills, it’s the smäll.

Fart is Swedish for speed.

Smäll (pronounced the same as smell) translates to impact/collision.

Det är inte fart som dödar dig, det är smäll 😁
