why is punching to the back of the head so dangerous?

try massaging ur head and u will feel a slight dizziness

can u explain why? thanks dude I'm just spitballin here but I'd imagine that the skull protects the brain quite well everywhere except the stem, which is located at the lower back of the head. So if you get hit hard there it may well be lights out.

the medulla oblongata sits somewhere over there @ the back of the head... be careful next time man... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medulla_oblongata

well the part of your brain that is responsible for your vision is at the back of your head, so that may have somethin to do with it

You answered your own question, also by the way you typed it it seems like you're still feeling the affects. can u explain why? thanks dude

They say all the time gettin hit in the brain stem can be fatal.

Maybe ask Gerald McClellan...
