[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 829114, member: 20605"] Perhaps I am seeing something in the video differently from how you are seeing it. There is a single frame in the video which show the referee's head back at a large angle [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/98915197/TRF/referee-hit.jpg[/img] If the red arrow points to her hairline and the yellow arrow ponits to her chin, then her head has been snapped back close to, perhaps even beyond 90°. That looks a lot like a severe hyper-extension to me, and it happened quickly. Perhaps I am not making myself clear. If you were the medic attending this referee, would you be looking for signs of concussion more so that if you were attending her for a leg sprain or a pulled hammie? My nephew's Rugby League playing days ended when he was blind-sided by a shoulder charge in the back. There was no head impact, just the hyper-extension of the neck. He played on but then collapsed a few minutes later. He was later diagnosed with a concussion caused by the whiplash. That was about 10 years ago when he was in his early 20's and he still suffers from severe migraines, vertigo-like dizzy spells and and the occasional neck spasm, nione of which he ever had before. It has severely impacted on his life. [/QUOTE]
