Focusing on the city background just shows how much the building is moving, must feel terrifying.

Nah you'll not match that force by bouncing people off it. The frame came off the building after multiple hits of half+ face coverage.

Humans and water weigh similarly but not many humans are that thick and blobby over such a large surface area.

it taking the force of a large truck slamming into it was "breaking too easily" for you? I think you underestimate the force and weight of a wall of water slamming into something.
