A 3'x4' whiteboard fell on my neck about half an hour ago.

I have ice on it, I can walk without running into things, and my vision isn't blurry, but man, have I got a headache. Neck not so happy either. I am not taking the bus home tonight.

I'm reminded of when someone managed to drop a dictionary on my head while I was laying at the base of a bookshelf reading (lesson learned: Do not lay at the base of the bookshelf, no matter how much easier that makes getting the books).
This sounds MUCH worse. Take it easy and hope you're alright.

This totally needs to be a meme: "what is the most unusual thing that's ever collided with your head?" For me it's either the whiteboard (neck first, then head), or a soccer goalpost at 15mph. (I was the one traveling, not the goalpost. Though I suppose it depends on your frame of reference!)

When I hit a goalpost it was only "as fast as I can run" which may have been in the range of 15mph after doing a little research into human footspeeds (which is an odd looking plural to say the least, but I'm pretty sure I don't mean feetspeed)
I also managed to jump my head into a 2" wooden beam in college, which was quickly followed by hitting the tile floor. I'm betting that's not very unusual, though. For a best answer to this question I'd have to ponder it for a pretty long time.

My mom wanted to stop letting me go to a church group after I got a concussion from running into another kid head first.

I can't remember this is before or after I sprained my finger in another youth group activity.
