​The antlers must have had enormous angular momentum because the were 9
feet across, but they only weighed 90 pounds so were unlikely to break a
female's back, and they were blunt soft and weak so the chances of causing
damage to the bones of a predator that was so severe we could see it today
would be about the same as the chances of receiving a serious injury from a
pillow fight. Well... maybe I exaggerate a little but only a little.
