I think I can remember each one. The elephant crushing Goku's hand when he's reaching for a Dragon Ball in Z. The fire hydrant that stops Goku in place after getting punched by Zamasu in Super. The rock Krillian hurls at Goku in Z. The falling building Goku had to go SSJ4 to push back in GT. And the bullet that leaves a bruise on Goku in Super.

When the rock and elephant hurt Goku, I’m pretty sure he and Gohan were purposefully training keeping their power levels as low as possible while maintaining super saiyan form. In context, they’re actually positive feats of ki control. The other stuff, there’s no excuses for lol.

Actually, it's very simple.

Those were Capsule Corp. made bullets, buildings, and fire hydrants.

And Krillin is just that good.

  And Krillin is just that good.

I prefer the theory that it was a capsule corp made rock.

There's no evidence to support that, but I'll allow your radical fantasy.

They were both clearly gags as well. The comedy was taking precedence over anything else.
