Please help me! can you get a concussion without hitting your head?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very rarely: It takes a bit of force to produce a concussion-so while in a rare circumstance one might turn the head fast enough(elderly) or rotate fast enough(e.G spinning car or amusemnt park ride) this would be uncommon.
