Default Question about a fall

Hi guys,

First time poster on here – I've suffered two concussions over the last four years (first one from falling backwards in a rocking chair, second from getting hit on the head) and like a lot of you, have struggled with PCS. Thanks to advice on this forum, I've gotten my neck checked out, which has helped immensely, but it's still relatively unstable. After years of being very very careful, today I slipped on standing water in the street and fell hard on my tailbone. I think I have my anxiety relatively in check about this, but I was just curious if this could theoretically cause a new concussion? I'm not sure about the g-forces involved, but I'm moreso just curious if a hard vertical fall is enough to damage the brain.

Thanks!
