Can concussions occur regardless of what side of the head you are hit? if so can a concussion occur even if the force of the blow is below 50g?

Yes: Concussion is determined by clinical symptoms associated with a head injury. This can be an injury that you do not hit your head, for example whiplash injury. Some people are more prone to problem.
