If you think physics is made up, sure...
I don't think hitting more gas is going to gently slide the 300 pound buck under my car. It's just going to increase the impact force.
Considering suspension, if you accelerate there's a lowering of the back of the car/raising of the front.
Conversely, breaking has the opposite effect, increasing the chances of the deer rolling over your hood and through your windshield.
You'll want to minimize that, hence the acceleration.
