Yeah you'll die a bunch to them before you acquire the trigger discipline NOT to shoot them right as they swoop down on you. Dive to the side and shoot at them after they fly past.

If you can't adapt to situation and this thing is bothering you much, try to avoid getting into such a situation at all.

Several options here:
1. Kill the nests from distance of ~180 meters so they don't aggro on you in the first place.
2. Use Lasers so you can cut them outta the sky from distance, totally negating the impact from their bodies falling (Laser Supportive actually is a go for this one).
3. Don't kill them as they attack you so they don't fall into your general direction, only kill them when they are "stationary".

They are weak and are easily avoided with moving to the side. Their only point is to apply constant press on you as when they spot you they trigger all bugs around to your general location. They might be somewhat annoying when you play reckless and solo (because all the trash they also summon), but as soon as you have support they don't pose any threat, so if you see them destroy their nests with any option possible and as soon as you can, and you'll be fine. The general rule of "prioritizing moving over fighting" also applies here so you'll be good unless you stop and try to hold your ground.

Proof? you know when i throw a Brick who ways about 1 KG at you with a lot of speed that Already hurts a lot, Now think about how it will feel to get hit by something where i am Preaty sure that ways atleast 80-100 KG, even Flying Dinosaurs where not super Light. besides it is a Game stop Bringing Realism in to the game, they are Easy to deal with, take a Turret or the Heavy MG or a Shotgun and Problem solved

I hope they leave it this way.

5kg on this speed is more than enough to crush an adult to death. Shriekers obviously weights more than 50kg.

Their ragdolled corpses can and will kill Titans.

this is confirmed? then it is most likely not intended. even a dead charging charger doesn't kill helldivers... so it wont make sense for shriekers to do that too

Because shriekers hits head first, while charger usually hits hands first.
