A member asked:
Why is it that when you are knocked out and you fall, it causes you no major injury?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably luck: This does not always happen without additional problems. In sports, concussion may seem self limited, but boxers and nfl players have developed post-traumatic encephalopathy due to repetitive head injury. This is not so straight-forwards, and broken bones often occur with a fall.
