If you do try and use HP as a deteminer of mass in the "collision" formulas no human should have more than about 14 HP. This would harmonize with ST15(18 Arm) gorillas and ST 20 grizzly bears but would limit chargen in a dull fashion.

A different ST and Mass stat would make a lot of things doable (jumping, throwing, climbing, lifting characters/NPCs) with simple ST-to-Mass lookups on a universal table in play. Comparing ST to Mass on something related to the SSR table is a nice GURPSy way to approach a lot of this stuff.
