Possibly: Head banging, as in to heavy metal music, or as in banging a head against a wall/floor? In any case, anytime there is a rapid or sudden acceleration/deceleration of the head, there can be injury to the brain. This can at times lead to a concussion. However, generally concussion occurs after a significant injury to the head.
