Anything but the metric system

It's anywhere from 21 to 96 tonnes depending on species and gender. Assuming average weight ranges. Writing that a tram weighs as much as 30 rhinos is about as useful as writing "quite a lot"...

How much different would a person come out in an accident with a 21 tonnes tram versus a 96 tonnes tram?

About 75 less damage.

How many Olympic swimming pools filled with jello is that?

Huh, I've seen a French version of this while passing in Liège, Belgium. Ironically I'm pretty sure it's still in construction and don't have trams running in their streets yet.
