Razors Edge ★ Posted March 15, 2019 Share #2 Posted March 15, 2019 A good question! And, how long does one need to be "out" to be "knocked out"? I have walloped my noggin a couple times enough to lose a brief instant of time, but never fully & noticeably "out". Maybe got a concussion at least one of those times, but it was tough to distinguish between the pain in my head vs any nausea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
late Posted March 15, 2019 Share #3 Posted March 15, 2019 Sure, by drugs. If it's a blow to the head, then you are concussed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted March 15, 2019 Share #4 Posted March 15, 2019 Did you have something happen, Random? A friend had a concussion and whiplash when she was in a car collision as a driver. Her head didn't hit anything. It is sudden violent jerking of head...brain moves inside skull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it isn't the movement, it's the sudden stop against the interior of the skull. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From studies (or reports on studies) I've seen, it isn't the stoping against the skull as thought for years. It is the sudden movement of the brain (typically caused by a sudden stop) that causes the brain to wiggle sort of like jello. The wiggling causes micro tears in the tissue which is the concussion.

Then I'm OK, my brain is more like pudding than jello. Probably tapioca or pistachio, not a good one like Chocolate with the skin on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, they've found damage from things as minor as head butting a soccer ball. It makes no sense having American football damage brains in an educational setting. Not that I expect Americans to make sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually had numerous blows to the noggin, once going lights out and snapped out of it and continued the fight. Probably why I’m so freaking wonky now...

Yeah, it’s the shearing of the subcortical axons, not contusions on the surface of the brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are unconscious for more than a minute there is usually brain damage. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got ambushed by the four deers I don’t know how long I laid on the highway before I came around. It was very quiet. When I walked into the ER they took me immediately back and took my bike clothes and sent me in for a cat scan of my head. They didn’t find anything, then they started taking x-rays and finding broken bones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
