Paintball
 
so I've been hit by a paintball today right in the temple area. Does anyone know if I should be concerned about that? I have a pretty painful bump on my head now but otherwise seem to be fine except for some dizziness and anxiety. It can't be a concussion, can it ?

If anything, you traumatize the skin. There is not enough mass to move your head. Your dizziness is likely due to your anxiety.

Thanks a lot mark!
That's what I thought too just wanted to make sure :)

Not only are the paintballs lightweight they splatter (they absorb the energy of the impact most likely)

Anxiety is my bet.
