fall behind on sleep [car question]

Could you tell me if this is natural? What would you change?

People who get into accidents and fall asleep behind the wheel are behind on their sleep and on average are missing a few hour of sleep. Had they gotten those few hours, they wouldn't have gotten into an accident.

How would you say the following sentences?

The shock of a crash at 130kmh is equate to falling from the 22nd floor of a building.

He tried to push the engine to the max.

Thank you

The order of events. People fall asleep first. Then they get into accidents.
