A member asked:

Can being smacked on the head with a open hand cause brain damage? if not, what force is needed to cause brain damage.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HOW HARD?: You can get a traumatic brain injury if this is what you mean by brain damage. A smack probably not. Getting punched and knocked out, sure. Also depends on age so definitely dangerous for a baby or child. Many things can possibly lead to a concussion especially sports or accidents. Helmets are important.
