its mere poppycock. The Empire State is 1,250 feet tall, so a peny dropped from the top would hit the ground at around 280 feet per second the fact a penny's light weight and flat, non-bullet shape, and the odds are the tumbling coin would barely break the skin. This is why, for instance, large hailstones sting but do not, say, pierce a skull and shoot downwards into a human torso, like a hot knife through a bag of exploding red butter.

Perhaps, as you say it would have to indeed hit the person at the right point. Rhino's are not very aero dynamic and thus would lose speed as they fell probably only reaching a max of 3mph as it fell
