Total amnesia is very rare, and takes trauma that is life threatening (damage to the frontal lobe). A simple knock on the noggin won't wipe a person's memory completely.

Nici,
My grandson was thrown from a horse, landed on his back, and then his head hit the ground afterwards and got temporary amnesia. He was only unconscious a couple of minutes, but the doctor said that's all it takes (enough to get knocked out and the longer their unconscious, the worse the amnesia can be).

It has a lot to do with velocity, the area of the skull/brain hit, impact int...BLAMMO!
....sorry mom,what were we talking about......
Actually the 1st part is accurate and it was impact intensity.

I dont think its is entire dependant on the force taken by the brain, but the location in which the brain was damaged at.

You don't have to get hit. You can always wait untill you get older and forget everything instead of hurting yourself!!!!!!!!!!

Depends on what section, and what happened emotionally leading up to getting whacked.
