Thanks for this. I have a friend who lost her Dad to an injury like this - almost identical scenario. He was working in his garage on a ladder and fell. His daughter was a nurse and she acted as first aider. After that, he said he felt sore but fine, took some painkillers and went to bed. Headache continued the day after, all day, managed with painkillers. He went to bed that evening and never woke up. Bleed on the brain. She still blames herself for not making him go to A&E. So sad.😢

I've got a head injury from a force from a soccer ball, hit directly to my face (hot shot)
I've been feeling restless in the head ever since

Why nausea and vomiting is dangerous in accidents?

It'll block your airway, normally we cough to get things out but if they're unconscious then it'll kill them.
