I mean odds are if you got hit and bounced off the windshield and roof or something it would not be that bad. But getting ran over you would be pretty much screwed. How come they use these in a vice versa context?

    Dictionary definition to run over:

    1 : to go over, examine, repeat, or rehearse quickly 2 : to collide with, knock down, and often drive over

    IIRC “attack” used to be originally a charge by the cavalry. And now terrorists and air forces also attack. Meanings shift. The victim needn’t see the undercarriage in person to classify as being run over. Language is literally imprecise.
