I'm a member of topgeartotty and we're all a little stunned by this.. which of course is not helped by the hospital-speak.. Though according to the scale, significant brain injury is ANYTHING that leaves you unconcious for more than 5 minutes.

So we're hopeful...
but crossingh our fingers..

"brain injury" could be medical speak for a bad concussion.
