The raptor is 330 pounds or 150 kg.

I don't know how much the girl would have weighed. She was about thirteen. Maybe 80 pounds? Could she have kicked it through those planks of wood? I've never found it that ridiculous, but most people seem to disagree.

@ezekiel43: She would have had to not only push the raptor's weight, but also cause enough force to break through the wooden planks (with barely any momentum from the raptor since he is right beside them). Plus the raptor hits its head on the ceiling, plus maybe it had prehension on the floor with its claws.

I assume Newton would be scratching his head at that one.

If she did have the momentum to create such a push I would at least expect it to slow her down.
