Using idea of conservation of impulse-momentum theorem, the instantaneous velocity times mass is equal to force times the change in time.
mv = Ft
To reduce the force, decrease the velocity and mass. You can also extend the time of the collision. This is why cars collapse on impact. They were design that way to reduce the force on the car and the passenger.
Hopes this helps!

The final velocity of the projectile when it strikes the ground below is 198.51 m/s.
<h3>
Time of motion of the projectile</h3>
The time taken for the projectile to fall to the ground is calculated as follows;
h = vt + ¹/₂gt²
where;
- h is height of the cliff
- v is velocity
- t is time of motion
265 = (185 x sin45)t + (0.5)(9.8)t²
265 = 130.8t + 4.9t²
4.9t² + 130.8t - 265 = 0
solve the quadratic equation using formula method,
t = 1.89 s
<h3>Final velocity of the projectile</h3>
vyf = vyi + gt
where;
- vyf is the final vertical velocity
- vyi is initial vertical velocity
vyf = (185 x sin45) + (9.8 x 1.89)
vyf = 149.322 m/s
vxf = vxi
where;
- vxf is the final horizontal velocity
- vxi is the initial horizontal velocity
vxf = 185 x cos(45)
vxf = 130.8 m/s
vf = √(vyf² + vxf²)
where;
- vf is the speed of the projectile when it strikes the ground below
vf = √(149.322² + 130.8²)
vf = 198.51 m/s
