Ever hit your forehead and see stars? Your brain is floating in cerebral spinal fluid, so it acts like boat, floating in a pond. You hit your forehead, your brain moves toward the back of the skull, compressing the optic nerves which run to back of the brain, impacting the skull causing you to see stars.

If you watch the video of him hitting the turf, his head bounces. So does his brain. This is why people should not shake a baby. Better helmets would help, playing on real grass would be better.
