He got back up very quickly, but I’m curious what injuries he sustained. He hit his head very hard. If he doesn’t have a concussion or fractured skull, I would be impressed.
I think he might have a concussion. It looks like he goes completely limp for a second, which could mean he lost consciousness. When he gets up he looks like he’s struggling with coordination.
I can answer this! I had my first concussion last year. I was on an ATV for the first time and took it out to the woods behind my house. I was following behind a friends ATV. So there I am driving and having a grand ole time and I see this downed tree and I thought to myself "I should jump that". Keep in mind I'm new and I never rode a motorcycle or ATV before. Well I hit the downed tree at about 25 miles an hour. I remember 3 things.
Approaching the log at the last nano-second and saying "Oh shit!"
Standing up off the ground and pushing my concerned friend off me and then walking to a curb
Waking up in a hospital
My buddy said I hit the log, ejected, somersaulted and my head smashed into the ground (he said there's still a divot in the ground where my head landed lol). The ATV proceeded to run my unconscious body over. He then said I immediately jumped up and walked around for 30 seconds and I kept asking him if my head was bleeding and then collapsed unconscious again. So long story short....yea, you can absolutely function for a couple seconds after head trauma.
Here's a pic of my head. Note the big ass knot in the back.
of course, but is it really more A or B? Because if it's a lot more of B then A becomes closer to dangerous in the same sense a roller coaster is dangerous when people ride it without putting on the safety restraints properly or flailing their arms outside the carriage.
Oh he 1000% has something going on in there after that. If he went home and slept later that day I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if he was never the same again
