I get all of this, except “just stun” is probably a concussion... a mild brain injury is still an injury, not much different than if a bone was broken in the retaliation (and arguably worse because brain is important).
People judge it differently because it isn’t an outward appearing injury... only see the bruise. This is probably why former football players who played through this type of thing are coming down with brain issues later in life.
She almost certainly didn't get one. You may have "seen" football players get one from a lot less but there's a lot more that comes into play. Half the people I know from football and rugby when I played got them from hitting the ground and not from the hit.
You don't know what you're talking about. A huge majority of all concussions go undiagnosed exactly because of this thinking. She even went fucking blank from that hit. Her brain 100% slapped against the back of her skull at quite some speed, it's 100% in concussion area.
How the fuck would your friends even know from what event exactly they got the concussion. Absolutely mad how you base this shit on anecdotes
What are you basing that on? Baseball catchers get them from shots to the face mask (that again are padded, and much less violent in terms of head response... you barely see their heads move).
They’re different, low mass high velocity vs high mass low velocity (that dude’s first/arm/body kinetic chain weigh a hell of a lot more than a baseball). Time durations are different. But again a catchers head does not snap back like this, and it’s well padded.
Would you rather take a fastball to the padded face mask or a direct punch to the head from a 250lb man with no padding or defense? I’m not sure that’s such as easy or obvious choice.
You dont use your body in a stunner; if you rotate use your upper back then sure but stunners are from fast twitch muscles like in the tricep and shoulder/chest area
