/heavy/ jostling


Explanation:
Perchance the same gerundive-present participle part of speech ought to be retained, besides which being jostled at a football match when there used to be crowds, on the Madrid Metro or when crossing the road at Gran Via traffic lights may cause serious injury to limb, plus damage to wallet or purse.

Example sentence(s):
  • Jostling of a driver can cause impact injuries, sprains, strains, and back injuries due to the truck cab landing violently and unexpectedly on the ground after connecting or releasing a load.
