Why are high heel shoes lethal weapons?

Would you rather be stepped upon by an adult elephant or someone wearing high heel shoes?

Using Physics to calculate Pressure, the rational me wants me to take my chance with the elephant rather than the high heels! How counter-intuitive!

Anyway, always had fun helping some of my students know that they have a lethal weapon at their disposal should they wear high heel shoes. 😀
