From what I understand, a lot of concussions don't result strictly from the impact, but from the sudden loss of speed. The brain is floating in fluids, and when a player running nearly 20 mph hits a wall of bodies, his brain smashes against the inner front of his skull. Even without the actual impact, that kind of damage is taking place. [/QUOTE]
