Can you get a concussion without hitting your head, just by rapidly tilting or shaking the head?

Wouldn't think so: Your body has fail-safes in its function that prevent such an injury by simple head shaking. I suppose if you spent hours doing it you could eventually cause injury, but it would likely be to muscles rather than brain.
