How does hitting your head kill you? (Specifically those that hit their head and are immediately dead etc). What causes this to happen and how?

The brain isn’t secured in the skull. Assuming the blunt force doesn’t just splinter skull pieces into the brain, you aren’t ‘safe.’
When your head gets hit hard, your head moves. Your skull moves and your brain has inertia. It doesn’t move until hit by the skull, pushing it back. Then when your head stops, your brain doesn’t and hits again. These images can cause bleeds, swelling, and other extreme amounts of damage. If that damage is sudden enough, or hard enough, it can be fatal damage.
