A member asked:
I'm just wondering, if you bump your head on the bus will there be any damage to the brain?

Head vs brain injury: Hitting your head will usually causes a head or skull injury. This will not cause brain damage. However, if the injury is severe, with symptoms of a concussion, change in consciousness, problem with thinking, headache, memory loss, a brain injury has occurred.
