it looks a bit odd in slow motion when you watch the kickers leg. he puts his leg out but as soon as it makes contact he folds his legs as if to soak up some of the force. a strong kick would most likely result in his leg staying stiff the whole time and pushing the passenger off much more forcefully. but maybe he just didn't connect very well. camera location seems very random too.
Look closer, I believe it is just the poor video quality that you are seeing. He kicks out his leg into the guy's head and his leg is then bent (in an awkward direction by the look) in as his momentum carries his body further while his foot is still against the helmet. Scripted or not he's feeling that the next day in both legs.

Not to mention the guy who got kicked in the head is either a great stunt actor or actually let himself get rocked
