Note
A plural that only the countable uses of the noun can take: when the word names the general idea, as in damage caused by collision, it has no plural. Counted, it ranges widely. It covers crashes, and also physics events where bodies exert force briefly without ever touching. Programmers use it too, in clipped forms: collisions can be clashing names, or objects meeting in a game's collision detection.
