How much force does it take to get a concussion?

Answer 1

Answer is .. not very. Concussion is a brain shake. The brain is surrounded by fluid which cushions impacts, though anything too significant (punch to the head etc) will cause your brain to shake and hence cause concussion. Symptoms can include dizziness, nausia etc. Concussion is typically short lasting. If the patient deteriorates, or the symptoms last longer, seem urgent medical treatment. Skull injuries can cause compression (where a fluid build up on the brain compresses it down onto the nerve bundles) which is far more serious.

Answer 2

when in a contact sport such as football, a concussion can occur when someone is contacted at speeds up to 28 mph or 9.3 m/s.

Answer 3

50 gs of force
