The head and brain was not made for such trauma.

I don't headbang, and I don't like metal. The problem is that I have some sort of OCD which makes me EXTREMELY bothered by seeing other people headbang. I really can't explain it, it just disturbs me to no end and makes me want a definitive answer.
But the studies on headbanging are disputed and nobody has an unquestionable answer.
So headbanging does indeed cause sub-concussive damage akin to that of heading a soccer ball, even though there is no physical blow to the head? How long would someone have to headbang for to notice effects? Why are almost all rock musicians still fine?
Also, doesn't similar force occur during jumping on a trampoline or jogging?
