Picture it this way, you and your buddy Springbob are having a push and shove match. You are equally matched and with a little give and take. Then your other friend Bumpbob, weighing like 1000 lbs and moving very fast, suddenly rams into the back of Springbob. You pretty much lose your footing and go for a loop on your ass. That is what happens to your tire and its traction.

So, like not a big deal.
Well put!!!!!!!
