Adjective clause (which) vs participle phrase modifying the entire clause

I give a couple of sentences below. Please get me correct.

1. He ran into the wall, banging his nose in the process.< He ran into the wall, which banged his nose in the process.< He banged his nose the fact that he ran into the wall.>
Do the three sentences grammatically correct and express the same meaning?

2. She yelled at me, making me cry.< She yelled at me, Which made me cry.< I cried the fact that she yelled at me.>
Same question like above?

3. Everyone over 50 was fired, causing an uproar.< Everyone over 50 was fired, which caused an uproar.< There was an uproar the fact that everyone over 50 was fired.>
Same question as above?
