not to be a , but you get hit on the neck from a flying human, you also get dinged on the head.  Guy who got hit was young, meaning resiliant and flexible so though xrays are frequently negative for bone breaks etc. they don't show any soft tissue damage like an MRI which I can guarantee they didn't do.  So even if there's no "brain damage" there will be some degree of soft tissue damage somewhere in the involved area especially given how they explain what happened in your linked article.

In my line of work (spine care) we know any significant trauma like this causes some degree of damage to the soft tissues (discs, ligaments, etc.) which often don't show up in terms of any significant pain symptoms until months/years later when he'll tell his dr. "I was just reaching up for a coffee cup and got a tweek in my neck" (translation early on damaged tissues progressed from say a bulging disc to a herniated disc type thing). Most people think patients end up in offices like mine from one particular trauma, fall or accident.  Well most end up here from bending over to tie ones shoes and the like and the back/neck goes out.  Not from that one bend but from any antecedent traumas both large and small.

We've done studies in the spine world (I'm a college prof. too teaching orthopedics) where symptom free people are put in MRI's and lo and behold the findings show 50-60+% of them have significant disc conditions with no pain....yet.   All our past spinal bumps and bruises catch up with us sooner or later.

This happens from people having other people fall on their heads and necks and the like.
