I mean, you get hit by one of those straight on you head... Does one live?

It depends.

Sometimes they can be a little more slosh and airy when they hit. More like a slightly icy snowball. Sometimes though they can be hard as hell.

That said it's extremely rare that anyone dies from them. To date only three people have been confirmed to have died in US history from hail in the last century.

If it's capable of falling from the sky, hitting the earth and maintaining that much shape and mass, if you're alive, you anit happy!
