Wish I could have had a helmet when I got a grade III concussion a few years ago. Nothing like post concussion syndrome for 9 months and reduced short term memory for life. :(
it’s quite interesting how the brain never quite returns to the way it was before, it rewires. I had a massive blow to the head about 2 and a half years back after falling about 10-12 feet from a rope swing and my girlfriend can confirm that i’ve never been the same since.

When I was a freshman, a boy threw a football at my head fullspeed (on purpose I guess because he never said sorry or anything). I was sensitive to light for like a month afterwards and that's when I started having my moodswings. I'm honestly wondering if I have brain trauma.
I think moodswings is just a coincidence. This happened at a time your body and mind is changing. You could get it checked out by all means and I'm no professional, but it does seem coincidental to me.
About 18 years ago I was standing on the outside wall of our house waiting for my sister to finish washing the garage, but suddenly I find myself in the car with my mother and brother crying and going to the hospital, then I found myself on the hospital bed and the doctor was examining the x-rays in front of me, but the strange thing is, I do not remember how I fell from the wall… At the moment I have a slight forgetfulness in the temporary memory and retrograde amnesia.Sometimes I forget names of some actors I don't know well and sometimes I forget things I want to do. I think this is normal because I excel in my studies.I am a pharmacist and game designer I'm good at English even though I'm Arabic and the permanent memory is good, thank God, but this thing stuck in my mind until now.
I had something really similar 11 years ago. I remember riding a bicycle and the next moment I was lying in my father's car with a strong headache. As I found out later, I got hit by another bicycle rider and fell down (going unconscious as I land). Also I was unconscious for 30 minutes and apparently screaming all the time since I had a crumpled piece of cloth in my mouth when I regained consciousness.
Christ, I’ve had 5 concussions and none of them were sports related. I can’t believe I have any cognitive function left. This video is a good reminder as to why I should be living in a bubble.

Several years ago when i still at junior high school, I once have brain damage when i was going to school from home after stepping down stairs and then skip the Last stair but i forgot that mom is mopping the floor in the first floor.

At first Its hurt but its only temporarly for couple minute then i go to school after that as usual and i feel nothing in school and i go back home as usual at the end, but the next Day i had seizure in the morning and when i wake up the back of my head is very painful, I lose some of my memory and its very painful if i forcefully to think and remember what i forgot was, I go to hospital with my family and didnt go to school for 3 month after that accident.

4:16 is actually false. Studies have proven that professional soccer players do sustain damage when heading a ball. University of Glasgow proved in 2019 that the odds for a soccer-players to get some form of dementia are 3.5 times higher. I find it kind of remarkable that you didn't find anything about this during your research.
Having lost the love of my life to chronic traumatic encephalopathy, keep in mind that long-term effects of brain trauma may not show until years after the fact.
For MMA fighters, probability-wise, for every 10-ish matches, they will have about 3 traumatic head injuries due to KO, TKO, Blows to the head, etc.... Boxing on the other hand is much the same as the MMA (many more blows to the head). However, the frequency of TBIs in boxing is slightly decreasing, as participation shifted more to olympics-style boxing and less overall boxing time (5 rounds instead of 8 or 10, 2.5 min rounds instead of 3; you get the idea) I'm studying sport related injuries in college for my statistics class.

I've been a South India martial art( known as Kalari Payattu) student for 8 years... I believ just like every other martials arts beginners go thru a routine of learning tolerate pain and training to withstand injuries from mild impact to extreme impact punches and kicks, just like we train to develop calcium deposit on the tip of fingers to have bullet proof fingers... I don't know what happens inside the head to withstand impacts... But still there is limit to the impact to what we can withstand but it's more than what an average human being can... Born equal trained to be different... After all everyone is a human being ..... I do believe if I get a blow with a base ball bat or a an iron punch to my head... I'm knocked out....🤕
@ttttol , the effects of CTE are found in sub-concussive head impacts, such as in soccer, so I would guess "sports" where the goal is to pummel another person would be as dangerous or moreso. This article here is about boxing and states that 20% of professionals have chronic tbi. :( pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10946737/
Brain injuries are a nightmare, I think more young people should be educated about this in schools so they can better avoid risks Also although helmets are a necessary tool to avoid skull fractures and life threatening injuries they can't protect against coup counter coup/concussion injures and their effects
4:14 I remember seeing a story about the sudden prevalence of Lou Gherigs disease in soccer players and the suspected cause being accumulated brain damage from going up for headers.
I've had a concussion twice and these two times it felt quite different. The first time I actually was pretty conscious and well for like 15 minutes, then I felt extremely cold and eventually blacked out. I wasn't able to recall events from shortly before passing out, while the second time I was able to remember everything, even though I blacked out immediately, so my guess is that a different region of the brain was affected. It's been diagnosed that my motor nerve has been damaged, and since then I'm having problems maintaining my balance when subject to an external stimulus. That is, for example, when I'm a passenger in a car and the driver accelerates or brakes in a fast manner, I bob my head like crazy, I just can't help it. It's even worse when I'm taking a bus or a tram. Interestingly, when I'm driving by myself and therefore have control of my movement, this issue does not occur. As for the personality, I'd say it stayed the same, though obviously it's hard to be objective here. Anyway, no one has yet said I changed since then, so I assume I've been spared at least that. Excellent video and channel in general, thank you!
Ever since the day I was born Drugs is what they used to say I was on They say I never knew which way I was going But everywhere I go they keep playing my song
Got into a crash two years ago it took a day for the secondary injury to hit and good God I felt like shit. I rolled my car off a cliff and nearly got impaled by some fence posts but survived. I was wearing my seat belt but it wound up hanging me so I had to take it off. I've recovered a bit still suffering with long term back issues but on meds to foster brain growth. It definitely is not a fun experience.
How about a video about specifically about brain damage from strokes rather than physical injury. That would really help me and other people too. My dad had a stroke 4 years ago and has vascular dementia as a result. His heart threw a clot after open heart surgery and Afib. So yeah.... Pretty fucked up.
I once banged my head 3 times against a wall with all my strength as an attempt of suicide, its safe to say i no longer think like that but at that moment I banged my head so hard I got dizzy. After some years I noticed one eye got more blind than the other, I forget things easily sometimes, and I cant recognize who a person is from far, even if they clearly look like I know them, it's just like, you clearly see them, but you dont recognize them, when you get closer THEN you know who they are, I dont know how to explain it. Take care of your children, they are important, don't marry thots with 3 other kids, marry a good wife, don't use your kids give them a break, for a reason they are called kids, they are growing, and they need rest, love, and healthy food...

@@Tatusiek_1, I need a better guide. My drain was drained 2 years ago and I don't know what to think of that (I doubt I can actually think rn). On one side, there is no bamage, on the other side, my drain functions are several hundreds times weaker.
That’s scariest thing I ever seen in my life! Luckily I am working on my neck muscles and skull to prevent this from happening to me. You should also do it!
I have a small bit of brain damage from having a tumor removed last year. it aint to bad i just often forget words and need certain exercise to help me with walking.
I had two concussion one at 17 years old in 2016 and one in April this year, still have recovering. Also didn't everybody as a kid hit his head extremely hard? As kids are pretty clumsy on average. Btw: heading balls in soccer or any sport where your head meets something hard on multiple occasions, actually does causes minor braintrauma.
When I was a young kid I bashed my head against my desk multiple times because my brain at the time wasn't fully developed and I was stupid and unaware of what could happen, my aunt also was in a car crash with me in it 3 or 4 years ago, I hit my head on the dash board and my head was tossed around a lot. Should I be concerned?
I had a brain injury 15 years ago when I bumped a bookshelf and something very heavy fell off the top and smashed me in the head. I was a teenager at the time and my mom didnt bother to take me to the hospital to be checked out. So we didnt know about the brain injury until later when I was having alot of problems and got a CAT scan an evidence of the injury was still there. Doctors said I either had a tiny stroke or more likely a minor enough brain bleed that it caused damage but was able to heal itself. I went from having a photographic memory to my short term memory being completely shot. I get headaches all the time on only 1 side of my head right where the injury was. Its really hit or miss if I remember anything and I can forget something almost immediately after being told about it. I also have alot of muscle tics and did have a pretty bad seizure issue but that wasn't diagnosed until 8 years later because i didnt know there were different kinds of seizures and dint bother to report it and over time the seizures became less and less and less until today where I haven't had a seizure in nearly 2 years. The worst part though is that my brain seems to freeze randomly. The best way I can describe it is that my brain blue screens like a computer and I can feel my short term memory just melting away and I forget everything in that moment. I dont know where I am, what I was doing, what i was saying. Usually I can get most of that info back within a few moments but its freaky and is the leading cause of why I cant drive because the last thing I need is for that to happen while im behind the wheel.
I was just out of the army when in a severe car accident. Lost most of my memory from about five years prior through my childhood. I have pretty bad short term memory loss to this day and can't retain numbers given to me when dialing a phone. I have the same conversions with my wife repeatedly and it's getting a little worse each year. At least I still recognize my toddler and infant
I can't wait to see how much brain trauma I have. I've hit my head or been hit the head so many times, it scares me. I mean, a concussion once in my life would have me somewhat worried. I've had many concussions, not to mention subconcussive hits I've taken. 🤦🏽♂️ I was fishing with my father in law and my son fairlu recently. I had bought my kid a lure prior to this trip, then I proceeded to lose it. so, i made sure to replace it before this trip. I suggested that he try out and he said he would rather I try it, since he wanted to try another new lure. I was more than happy to do that, so I start fishing and what happens? I get the same lure snagged again! 🤦🏽♂️ I felt so dumb and bad for my son.... and it was a poor cast on my part, so it was snagged on land... all I wanted was to get that lure back. I've jumped from the bow of a boat to various surfaces (sand beaches, docks, rock shelves, other boats) that jumping from the boat to the shore... 🤷🏽♂️ ...it was so easy, to me, it seemed dumb *not* to make that jump. I didn't consider, however, that I have fished in boats many times but never with a former cop. Why is that pertinent? ....because he had water resuce training and it was done with the goal of pulling people out of a swift moving river. we were on a reservoir, so it wasn't a fast moving body of water. I had always jumped from a boat by standing at the bow while they give it a bit of throttle. When the boat is closing in to my ideal jumping distance, I say "ok"....and the driver puts the boat in *neutral,* letting inertia move the boat. Once I make the jump, I say "clear" and the driver puts the boat into reverse to keep from hitting the rocks. I figured this would be the same. We closed in on the shore and I said "ok", expecting to hear the engine moved to neutral and the boat to slow down. .....he was trained for emergencies. So, his training was to drive up to the intended jump site, giving the boat throttle. When the team member making the jump feels like the boat is close enough to make his jump, *they make the jump.* _After_ the team member has already jumped and is on the shore or struggling boat or whatever, they say "ok".... The driver then puts the boat into *reverse* so the fast moving water doesn't push the boat into object the other team member just jumped on. This ....wasn't communicated between us beforehand.... So, imagine my shock when I said "ok", hear the engine stop as expected....see the window of opportunity for jumping getting close...and right as I make the jump, I hear the engine being given throttle and I feel the boat being pulled from under my foot. 😮 This specific fishing place doesn't have shores. it has high, vertical basalt cliffs with small shelves that are about 6 feet wide. The shelf is above the water but, where it ends....its another cliff. If you were to step off of the exposed part of the shelf, you would go from being about an inch above the water to being in 100 feet of water. It's just a straight basalt drop off. When I jumped, Intook a header off the bow of a boat and onto basalt. I knew the risk: if you were to make that jump, miss and get KOd by hitting your head, you would be unconscious and would roll into 100 ft of water. I didnt have a life jacket, so I made the situation a potentially deadly one.🤦🏽♂️ When I hit, i hit right on my right temple. I didn't lose consciousness (I never have, actually) and I remember knowing (no time to think) that if I were to pass out, me sinking into the dark water would be the last time my son saw his dad. As i hit, I felt right away something horrifying: from my thighs down were underwater and there was *no rock* below me! In desperation, I climbed futher onto the dry part of the shelf. I was so scared, I was unaware that I was using everything I had to pull myself out of the water, including my head. I stood up as soon a I was ok the shelf, grabbed my head (to assess the damage and to hit it from my son)....but all I felt was a huge bulge, like my skull had busted and brains were coming out (that's what I thought for a bit). I tried to get calm and slow my heart rate.... but then I started to lose my vision. It wasn't from head trauma....it was because so much blood was leaking from my face that I couldn't wipe it off fast enough. The scariest part, for me, was when had my father in law look at my injuries. when you ask a former cop (the man has not only been shot, but he has shot others and has seen some horrific accidents. Seeing someone take their last breathe after an accident was part if of his job) who is also family "how bad is it?".....the last thing you want to get as a response from a former first responder is stunned silence and a look on their face that makes *you* worried that they might pass out. After I got cleaned up, I know I had a concussion. I calculated, mentally, the time it would take to even get to any medical help and (considering the condition I was in, I probably shouldn't have been the one to make this call but) I decided I'd rather risk dying while fishing than cut the trip short. I was doing OK for about an hour, then I needed to sit and just be for a bit. I was watching the sky and feeling the boat rocking softly in the waves....then, suddenly, I felt like the boat was completely still and the sky was what was rocking. That was when I said "we should head home now". 😂 so, we did the right thing and headed directly.....to a fast food place, had dinner, went home and I just slept it off. I went to the ER the next day and they said that me not dying on my sleep basically cleared me, medically...and sent me home. Sorry for the book length story ( I'm not really sorry, I'm just being polite). Sadly for me: it's only one of the many times I've had a situation like that. it's not even the most recent. I'm scared to see what old age has in store for me.
Flipped forward off a bike without a helmet while going down a hill. Wound up with a lump on my forehead the size of a golf ball. I managed to not have any lasting brain damage, and after seeing this video, it's frightening how easily I could have died from one extremely stupid mistake. I haven't ridden a bike since the accident, and I don't think I ever will now, at least not on hills, and not without the best helmet money can buy.
I had a head on collision when I was 31 and I do think it caused TBI. My short term memory is worse and my impulse control is worse than before because my head went into the steering wheel then back and then forward again. 3 days later I seized and was diagnosed with epilepsy.
I got hit in head really really hard once, and I notice I got short term cognitive impairment. That lasted shortly, but now I have which I suppose bit below average short term memory which sucks, but anything else is okay.
Are there ways to protect your brain before you have unexpected trauma? Can Calcium Channel Blockers reduce the amount of calcium entering into brain cells damaged by trauma? Can avoiding high glutamate foods or using Glutamate Blockers reduce the overload of glutamate in the brain caused by trauma?
Brain injuries related to asphyxiation tend to be more diffused as their cause is a general lack of oxygen as opposed to the cascade of events occurring in trauma. Anoxia secondary to asphyxiation is usually referred to as global ischemia. Patients with this condition tend not to survive and are the ones who are referred to as brain dead on an EEG.
I've had 3 mild concussions within 30 days. First hit was from a bad parachute landing (I'm an Army Paratrooper) and the other 2 are from boxing. I'm getting treated now and they say I'm probably going to fully recover but I think I have some permanent damage. I forget things, can't concentrate, depression and get angry all the time now. I actually feel stupid because of this. It's been 2.5 weeks since the last impact. Do these things go away? Am I gonna be dumb forever?
Anyone see the police interview where the suspect was acting very odd and out of it and like an hour into it the cop saw he had a bullet hole in his head?
This happened to a young boy I was tutoring- from falling out of the tree onto the ground. He is still going through the repercussions of that particular fall- inertia of the fall+sudden stop on the ground= jelly brain........😮
I wonder how much of my lifelong cognitive and psychological issues are related to tripping down a whole wooden staircase and bonking my forehead hard when I was a toddler. I joke about being "brain damaged" but maybe it's not a joke after all LOL
I fell off a cliff on my bike and landed mainly on my collarbone.

I've been a South India martial art( known as Kalari Payattu) student for 8 years... I believ just like every other martials arts beginners go thru a routine of learning tolerate pain and training to withstand injuries from mild impact to extreme impact punches and kicks, just like we train to develop calcium deposit on the tip of fingers to have bullet proof fingers... I don't know what happens inside the head to withstand impacts... But still there is limit to the impact to what we can withstand but it's more than what an average human being can... Born equal trained to be different... After all everyone is a human being ..... I do believe if I get a blow with a base ball bat or a an iron punch to my head... I'm knocked out....🤕
@ttttol , the effects of CTE are found in sub-concussive head impacts, such as in soccer, so I would guess "sports" where the goal is to pummel another person would be as dangerous or moreso. This article here is about boxing and states that 20% of professionals have chronic tbi. :( pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10946737/
Brain injuries are a nightmare, I think more young people should be educated about this in schools so they can better avoid risks
Also although helmets are a necessary tool to avoid skull fractures and life threatening injuries they can't protect against coup counter coup/concussion injures and their effects
4:14 I remember seeing a story about the sudden prevalence of Lou Gherigs disease in soccer players and the suspected cause being accumulated brain damage from going up for headers.
we're always one event away from life-changing internal injuries.
That’s really scary part about being alive
I've had a concussion twice and these two times it felt quite different.
The first time I actually was pretty conscious and well for like 15 minutes, then I felt extremely cold and eventually blacked out. I wasn't able to recall events from shortly before passing out, while the second time I was able to remember everything, even though I blacked out immediately, so my guess is that a different region of the brain was affected.
It's been diagnosed that my motor nerve has been damaged, and since then I'm having problems maintaining my balance when subject to an external stimulus.
That is, for example, when I'm a passenger in a car and the driver accelerates or brakes in a fast manner, I bob my head like crazy, I just can't help it.
It's even worse when I'm taking a bus or a tram.
Interestingly, when I'm driving by myself and therefore have control of my movement, this issue does not occur.
As for the personality, I'd say it stayed the same, though obviously it's hard to be objective here.
Anyway, no one has yet said I changed since then, so I assume I've been spared at least that.
Excellent video and channel in general, thank you!
Reading stuff like this makes me not want to ride my motorcycle anymore
@@eduardom3209 Just wear a good helmet, and you're good to go 🙂
@@Vizal am i though? How hard do you need to hit your head to cause a concussion?
@@eduardom3209 you better not find out 😆 It's hard to measure, but you may imagine it as if you were running and you suddenly hit a wall 😅
@@Vizal that's not much, but i never did it before

Got into a crash two years ago it took a day for the secondary injury to hit and good God I felt like shit. I rolled my car off a cliff and nearly got impaled by some fence posts but survived. I was wearing my seat belt but it wound up hanging me so I had to take it off. I've recovered a bit still suffering with long term back issues but on meds to foster brain growth. It definitely is not a fun experience.

watching videos about internal injuries make my skin crawl.
got hit by a car in aug 2016 (diffuse axonal injury), 2 week coma but im ok now :)
How about a video about specifically about brain damage from strokes rather than physical injury. That would really help me and other people too. My dad had a stroke 4 years ago and has vascular dementia as a result. His heart threw a clot after open heart surgery and Afib. So yeah.... Pretty fucked up.
Also no mention of infection-related brain damage. Pretty lackluster considering those two types of trauma make up about 28% of all cases.
I had a near fatal car crash some 20 years ago. The now life long medical up keep is astounding.
I once banged my head 3 times against a wall with all my strength as an attempt of suicide, its safe to say i no longer think like that but at that moment I banged my head so hard I got dizzy.
After some years I noticed one eye got more blind than the other, I forget things easily sometimes, and I cant recognize who a person is from far, even if they clearly look like I know them, it's just like, you clearly see them, but you dont recognize them, when you get closer THEN you know who they are, I dont know how to explain it.
Take care of your children, they are important, don't marry thots with 3 other kids, marry a good wife, don't use your kids give them a break, for a reason they are called kids, they are growing, and they need rest, love, and healthy food...
hope you are doing well now
I'd like to see a video like this about the aftermath of a tbi. Like recovery process etc
3:37 looks like the patient was put on the table deliberately so the brain can hang free haha.
I had my head smashed against the floor 7/8 times once. Never been the same since.

my grandma had mini strokes decades ago which gave her Parkinsons, dementia...and causes falls. Also my friend got a TBI after a bad car accident.
I passed out at work, head hit the tile floor full force (bc you dont catch yourself). Now, I'm at the doctor's more than I'm at work bc of resulting brain damage.
Telling old people dont do it regarding falling like they just decide to topple over causing these statistics 😂
basically, you hit head, brain goes shake shake, brain gets hurt, you become dumber.
best way to explain to the the people who have drain bamage
@@Tatusiek_1 A Guide on Brain Damage for The Brain Damaged
@@Tatusiek_1, I need a better guide. My drain was drained 2 years ago and I don't know what to think of that (I doubt I can actually think rn). On one side, there is no bamage, on the other side, my drain functions are several hundreds times weaker.
one thing you can do after getting head trauma to reduce the damage is resting with legs held higher than your head
I always wondered what they do with removed skull fragments that they intend to reuse. Putting them in the abdomen is a pretty clever solution.

I'm healed from brain damage and now am helping people with brain damage
I just had a motorcycle crash and it's good to know that this definitely happened and how it happened
Im pretty sure there isn’t a brain out that hasn’t been jogged, once or twice.
Beautiful video at the beginning of the Neuroscience block, Thanks Alot!
That’s scariest thing I ever seen in my life! Luckily I am working on my neck muscles and skull to prevent this from happening to me. You should also do it!
I have a small bit of brain damage from having a tumor removed last year. it aint to bad i just often forget words and need certain exercise to help me with walking.
I had two concussion one at 17 years old in 2016 and one in April this year, still have recovering.
Also didn't everybody as a kid hit his head extremely hard? As kids are pretty clumsy on average.
Btw: heading balls in soccer or any sport where your head meets something hard on multiple occasions, actually does causes minor braintrauma.
When I was a young kid I bashed my head against my desk multiple times because my brain at the time wasn't fully developed and I was stupid and unaware of what could happen, my aunt also was in a car crash with me in it 3 or 4 years ago, I hit my head on the dash board and my head was tossed around a lot. Should I be concerned?
Idk, I’m colorblind
I think the average person has nothing to fear from venomous spiders!

I had a brain injury 15 years ago when I bumped a bookshelf and something very heavy fell off the top and smashed me in the head. I was a teenager at the time and my mom didnt bother to take me to the hospital to be checked out. So we didnt know about the brain injury until later when I was having alot of problems and got a CAT scan an evidence of the injury was still there. Doctors said I either had a tiny stroke or more likely a minor enough brain bleed that it caused damage but was able to heal itself.
I went from having a photographic memory to my short term memory being completely shot. I get headaches all the time on only 1 side of my head right where the injury was. Its really hit or miss if I remember anything and I can forget something almost immediately after being told about it. I also have alot of muscle tics and did have a pretty bad seizure issue but that wasn't diagnosed until 8 years later because i didnt know there were different kinds of seizures and dint bother to report it and over time the seizures became less and less and less until today where I haven't had a seizure in nearly 2 years. The worst part though is that my brain seems to freeze randomly. The best way I can describe it is that my brain blue screens like a computer and I can feel my short term memory just melting away and I forget everything in that moment. I dont know where I am, what I was doing, what i was saying. Usually I can get most of that info back within a few moments but its freaky and is the leading cause of why I cant drive because the last thing I need is for that to happen while im behind the wheel.
I played League of Legends for almost 12 years now
That explains randoms in GTA
that's why I prefer sitting at home drinking beer. no risk of injury.
Ha! Jokes on my insurance. I became a licensed skydiver at 25 😄
I use to love surfing but I love learning more and I stop surfing. Those waves would hit me so hard. Not worth the risk I run and lidt now instead
I was in a MVA on 21 Dec 2015. I was diagnosed a few days later with a TBI. I’ve had chronic migraines ever since.
The thought of brain damage makes me squeamish.
I was just out of the army when in a severe car accident. Lost most of my memory from about five years prior through my childhood. I have pretty bad short term memory loss to this day and can't retain numbers given to me when dialing a phone.
I have the same conversions with my wife repeatedly and it's getting a little worse each year. At least I still recognize my toddler and infant
How are you doing now? Are things getting better?
I can't wait to see how much brain trauma I have. I've hit my head or been hit the head so many times, it scares me. I mean, a concussion once in my life would have me somewhat worried.
I've had many concussions, not to mention subconcussive hits I've taken. 🤦🏽♂️
I was fishing with my father in law and my son fairlu recently. I had bought my kid a lure prior to this trip, then I proceeded to lose it. so, i made sure to replace it before this trip.
I suggested that he try out and he said he would rather I try it, since he wanted to try another new lure. I was more than happy to do that, so I start fishing and what happens? I get the same lure snagged again! 🤦🏽♂️
I felt so dumb and bad for my son.... and it was a poor cast on my part, so it was snagged on land... all I wanted was to get that lure back.
I've jumped from the bow of a boat to various surfaces (sand beaches, docks, rock shelves, other boats) that jumping from the boat to the shore... 🤷🏽♂️ ...it was so easy, to me, it seemed dumb *not* to make that jump.
I didn't consider, however, that I have fished in boats many times but never with a former cop. Why is that pertinent? ....because he had water resuce training and it was done with the goal of pulling people out of a swift moving river. we were on a reservoir, so it wasn't a fast moving body of water.
I had always jumped from a boat by standing at the bow while they give it a bit of throttle. When the boat is closing in to my ideal jumping distance, I say "ok"....and the driver puts the boat in *neutral,* letting inertia move the boat.
Once I make the jump, I say "clear" and the driver puts the boat into reverse to keep from hitting the rocks.
I figured this would be the same. We closed in on the shore and I said "ok", expecting to hear the engine moved to neutral and the boat to slow down.
.....he was trained for emergencies. So, his training was to drive up to the intended jump site, giving the boat throttle. When the team member making the jump feels like the boat is close enough to make his jump, *they make the jump.* _After_ the team member has already jumped and is on the shore or struggling boat or whatever, they say "ok".... The driver then puts the boat into *reverse* so the fast moving water doesn't push the boat into object the other team member just jumped on.
This ....wasn't communicated between us beforehand....
So, imagine my shock when I said "ok", hear the engine stop as expected....see the window of opportunity for jumping getting close...and right as I make the jump, I hear the engine being given throttle and I feel the boat being pulled from under my foot. 😮
This specific fishing place doesn't have shores. it has high, vertical basalt cliffs with small shelves that are about 6 feet wide. The shelf is above the water but, where it ends....its another cliff. If you were to step off of the exposed part of the shelf, you would go from being about an inch above the water to being in 100 feet of water. It's just a straight basalt drop off.
When I jumped, Intook a header off the bow of a boat and onto basalt. I knew the risk: if you were to make that jump, miss and get KOd by hitting your head, you would be unconscious and would roll into 100 ft of water. I didnt have a life jacket, so I made the situation a potentially deadly one.🤦🏽♂️ When I hit, i hit right on my right temple. I didn't lose consciousness (I never have, actually) and I remember knowing (no time to think) that if I were to pass out, me sinking into the dark water would be the last time my son saw his dad. As i hit, I felt right away something horrifying: from my thighs down were underwater and there was *no rock* below me!
In desperation, I climbed futher onto the dry part of the shelf. I was so scared, I was unaware that I was using everything I had to pull myself out of the water, including my head.
I stood up as soon a I was ok the shelf, grabbed my head (to assess the damage and to hit it from my son)....but all I felt was a huge bulge, like my skull had busted and brains were coming out (that's what I thought for a bit). I tried to get calm and slow my heart rate.... but then I started to lose my vision. It wasn't from head trauma....it was because so much blood was leaking from my face that I couldn't wipe it off fast enough.
The scariest part, for me, was when had my father in law look at my injuries. when you ask a former cop (the man has not only been shot, but he has shot others and has seen some horrific accidents. Seeing someone take their last breathe after an accident was part if of his job) who is also family "how bad is it?".....the last thing you want to get as a response from a former first responder is stunned silence and a look on their face that makes *you* worried that they might pass out.
After I got cleaned up, I know I had a concussion. I calculated, mentally, the time it would take to even get to any medical help and (considering the condition I was in, I probably shouldn't have been the one to make this call but) I decided I'd rather risk dying while fishing than cut the trip short.
I was doing OK for about an hour, then I needed to sit and just be for a bit. I was watching the sky and feeling the boat rocking softly in the waves....then, suddenly, I felt like the boat was completely still and the sky was what was rocking. That was when I said "we should head home now". 😂
so, we did the right thing and headed directly.....to a fast food place, had dinner, went home and I just slept it off.
I went to the ER the next day and they said that me not dying on my sleep basically cleared me, medically...and sent me home.
Sorry for the book length story ( I'm not really sorry, I'm just being polite). Sadly for me: it's only one of the many times I've had a situation like that. it's not even the most recent.
I'm scared to see what old age has in store for me.
Flipped forward off a bike without a helmet while going down a hill. Wound up with a lump on my forehead the size of a golf ball. I managed to not have any lasting brain damage, and after seeing this video, it's frightening how easily I could have died from one extremely stupid mistake. I haven't ridden a bike since the accident, and I don't think I ever will now, at least not on hills, and not without the best helmet money can buy.
I’ve had 9 concussions now… might as well make it a nice round ten.
Amazing video as always!
I had a head on collision when I was 31 and I do think it caused TBI. My short term memory is worse and my impulse control is worse than before because my head went into the steering wheel then back and then forward again. 3 days later I seized and was diagnosed with epilepsy.
Oooooh so this is why growing up if I had a head knock my mum wouldn't let me sleep for a few hours and she kept an eye on me
I got hit in head really really hard once, and I notice I got short term cognitive impairment. That lasted shortly, but now I have which I suppose bit below average short term memory which sucks, but anything else is okay.
Are there ways to protect your brain before you have unexpected trauma?
Can Calcium Channel Blockers reduce the amount of calcium entering into brain cells damaged by trauma?
Can avoiding high glutamate foods or using Glutamate Blockers reduce the overload of glutamate in the brain caused by trauma?
What about Brain injuries due to asphyxiation? What are the differences? If any?
Brain injuries related to asphyxiation tend to be more diffused as their cause is a general lack of oxygen as opposed to the cascade of events occurring in trauma. Anoxia secondary to asphyxiation is usually referred to as global ischemia. Patients with this condition tend not to survive and are the ones who are referred to as brain dead on an EEG.
I get brain damage daily from solo queuing.
This was so informative and effective. Great video
I've been in a motorbike accident when I was 16 and I have lost my sense of smell haha
I've had 3 mild concussions within 30 days. First hit was from a bad parachute landing (I'm an Army Paratrooper) and the other 2 are from boxing. I'm getting treated now and they say I'm probably going to fully recover but I think I have some permanent damage. I forget things, can't concentrate, depression and get angry all the time now. I actually feel stupid because of this. It's been 2.5 weeks since the last impact. Do these things go away? Am I gonna be dumb forever?
Anyone see the police interview where the suspect was acting very odd and out of it and like an hour into it the cop saw he had a bullet hole in his head?
I've fallen and I can't get up!
I stopped violently jumping down stairs when I slipped and hit my head and couldn’t see for 5 mins
This happened to a young boy I was tutoring- from falling out of the tree onto the ground. He is still going through the repercussions of that particular fall- inertia of the fall+sudden stop on the ground= jelly brain........😮
I sure as hell put a few miles on the meat computer with my drinking just quit...
I wonder how much of my lifelong cognitive and psychological issues are related to tripping down a whole wooden staircase and bonking my forehead hard when I was a toddler. I joke about being "brain damaged" but maybe it's not a joke after all LOL
People say "you have brain damage"
No lady, I have W rizz
Watch, I'll come back here when I'm 75 and I'll have ALL of my life falls at that moment.
Good video well explained thank you I like the animation too
>75 yo ppl:
Oh no i hope i don't fall
Wait so you’re gonna put my skull piece inside my abdomen?!!😟😳😱
Im so glad I have brain damage
I fell off a cliff on my bike and landed mainly on my collarbone. I thought the snapped clavical was the worst thing to happen to me but I’m pretty sure I got brain damage to some degree I’ve become an increasingly neurotic person although I was before I just didn’t know it, I feel like my head is caving in watching this video
Honestly I know I have brain damage and it scared me. I’ve cracked my head so hard against the pavement skating for years. Had to get staples in my head one time .
