I have also waited before entering this discussion. I find it ridiculous to suggest a high ROC and substantial speed, given the very leisurely rate of climb of a Dragon and its best climb speed of, I imagine, about 60 knots would cause that sort of impact damage.
A very high rate of descent and very high speed and an angle approaching the vertical would be more likely.
Sadly this has happened very times before now and will continue to happen in the future.
I grieve for the loss of fellow aviators.
