I’ve heard 80-90Gs being thrown around but what of the people who seem to suffer concussion from far far less than this fairly high number?

I have seen people hit their head thru a wall without sustaining a concussion and its not even that rare to take lots of force on your head and not get damaged. The most danger lies in unnatural fast movements like when a boxer gets a punch to the chin at like 30kp/h and in his skull his brain bounces around hes gonna feel the typical symptoms of dizziness, unresponsive pupils etc.

Tldr: to sustain a concussion you would need to rapidly shake your head at speeds not achievable without outside influence
