Bridge SMASH!

Alright, so I know if you lower a drawbridge it epicly destroys anything it hits. What happens if you raise a bridge with someone standing on it into say a granite wall.

Whatever is on the bright might either get thrown upwards or get smashed between the bridge and the wall.

I'm not sure whether getting thrown up requires the space above to be empty, though.

If they get caught between the wall and the bridge is it the same exploity insta-gib that lowering a bridge on someone is?

I've had this happen two ways.

The first time I used a drawbridge offensively, it would instagib anything on top of it. In my last fortress (39c) it simply flung them up into the ceiling, epicly stunning them and letting me drop the bridge on them again.

I killed a kitty by raising a bridge... waste of meat, but it was following Urist McNewcomer, who was unfortunately only stunned.
