Steve,
All things being equal about small objects (about size of large caliber bullets) dropping faster & faster about 2 miles back to earth, I think a small chunk of frozen rain hitting anyone on the noggin wouldn't be near as dangerous as being hit by a similar sized heavy lead slug.
If talkin-about a record type .5 kilogram or 1.1lb. hail stone,...well that's a whole different story.
Regardless, hope neither of us ever experience either way. Either way must smart.
Hell. I don't even like birds softly pooping on my head.
