MCU Spider-Man durability upgrade

Spoiler Alert:

In new movie Spiderman gets hit by a speeding train, the impact doesn't immediately knock him out, as he's able to climb aboard the train and fall asleep inside on one of the seats later.

The train was going much faster than average nyc subway trains. We also know they are in Europe, and some trains like Frecciarossa 100 in Europe can run 300kmh / 186.411 miles per hour. So let's use Frecciarossa 100

Mass Of Europe Train- 19 short tons Velocity- 186 Mph / 83.15 m/s Kinetic Energy- 59,849 Kg

Spider-Man durability should be upgraded to large building level
 
1.9 tons is strong enough to survive a High 8C impact but still get knocked out.

The impact was much stronger then Spidey himself, so his current justification is fine.
 
My issues with this

  • The train would not impart its full kinetic energy on Spider-Man as it kept moving afterwards
  • Spider-Man couldn't have even been exposed to the full kinetic energy since he's got a smaller surface area than the train
Here's a similar question for you. Does a car come to a dead stop after it hits a pedestrian?
 
Plus, Again

Even if this calculation was somehow correct, it's not that far above what Spidey's current statistics are and Spidey was knocked out by it. So he doesn't scalevrefardkess

And even if he did, the outlier is a thing.
 
Not so much outlier as it would be his limit. An 8-C getting KO'd by a High 8-C (according to Qaws it wouldn't even be the value above) fits the scaling for the most part.

Alternatively, could we not calc Spidey's mass going at the train's speed for the force he actually takes as he is what stops rather than the train?
