The man has 10 HP and Move 5. Dice of damage is (10 x 5) / 100, or 0.5, treated as 1d-2. Adding DB2 gives him a damage roll of 1d. His target does (50 x 5) / 100 dice of damage, which wounds up to 3d.

If the man gets a maximum roll of 6, and the target gets a minimum roll of 3, the target is knocked down automatically. That's one chance in 1,296.

Yes, for a 5yd slam, there is no problem. The problem is when a 1yd man can slam almost anything with less than 100hp to the ground. Remember, velocity is the yards moved, not the potential from your basic move.
