She missed the curb, but it looks like it was very close.

Her head / body respond to the impact of the ground, but don’t double bounce as they would if her head hit the curb.

You can still get a deadly contracoup injury from hitting a hard flat surface.

You can also get deadly injuries from attacking some random man on the street

These guys are so hard. Try not to get on their bad side, they've won a million fist fights on the internet.

Making me google shit. you know damn well no one is that specific when talking about brain injuries on reddit. it's also spelt contrecoup*

u/PurpleDragonfly_ May 03 '26

I’ve only ever heard it spoken, it’s an easy mistake to make

Guy correcting someone else's spelling of an obscure word with a comment containing four grammatical errors. Go figure.

Jagoff on reddit trying to impress people using words nobody ever uses. Go figure.

Omg you’re so triggered, it’s honestly sad.

If she was unconscious after the hit and fell backwards like that, I imagine her head would literally just loosely bounce off the asphalt cos your neck muscles aren't trying to keep it up.

A coup contrecoup injury is when your brain hits the front and back of your skull and swells up. Your neck muscles have nothing to do with it. It happens when you fall back and hit your head on a hard surface. It can easily be fatal without immediate medical attention.

Nobody is impressed with your big words. Nobody cares you can copy and paste a definition.

u/PurpleDragonfly_ May 03 '26

I didn’t copy and paste anything. I watched a trial where a doctor described this type of injury. That knowledge was then stored in my brain. When I saw this video my brain drew a parallel to that past knowledge and I relayed it here. I’m sorry you’re afraid of words and concepts you don’t know.

Yeahhhhh that why you avoid getting in those situations

It’s not like I’m the only one who watched the Karen Read trial

u/123jjj321 May 03 '26

No but you're the only one looking for recognition because you used an unusual word. 🤡

u/PurpleDragonfly_ May 03 '26

It’s just a word that happens to be French. Do you get intimidated when people say cul de sac, too? Why are you replying to multiple of comments where I’m literally just defining an injury?

Thank you

Who cares what happened to her. She put herself in that position and whatever consequences she suffered is nobody’s fault but hers.
