[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 829052, member: 73592"] SC - chances are that no-one knew she had whiplash at the time; I doubt she was given more than a cursory look over by one team's medics. Yes, you can suffer concussion secondary to whiplash absent of head trauma; but you'd need a hell of a lot more than what is, in essence, a low-speed rear-end collision. For this the whiplash is a hyperextension one, I don't think I noticed any particular hyperflexion in there; and no particular rotary element. In the real world, you'd only get concussion from that injury with a hell of a lot more force in the impact, and/or a patient with a history of previous concussion (or being a baby). The mechanism of injury for whiplash in these scenarios is also different - it's overstretch of the axons, not contusions. Her neck took the injury, not the skull or the contents thereof [/QUOTE]
