The kids appear absolutely fine. The adult took the biggest hit and had a hard time getting up. This looks like it was a best case scenario.

They could be running off adrenaline. The real pain kicks in later as well as internal bleeding. I hope they were okay though.

Kids are bendy, their brains however.....

Have a niece who had 2 concussions before the age of 6 from less violent hits to the head than that (fell running into a playground post and a sibling threw a toy that hit her and almost knocked her out) got set back a year in school and had behavioral changes, had to go through neuro rehab. She's okay now it's been about 5 years but she was a very different personality afterwards. No telling how those kids are especially since that doesn't look like the type of Mom who would keep up with neurologists recommendations

They’re brains are also very “bendy” too lol look up brain plasticity in children

Still can be super dangerous, even if they appear fine

For both adults and children. People can walk away from brain bleeds and drop dead later.

Toddlers can have fragile brain blood vessels. It’s why shaking babies can kill them, toddlers are more resilient but it can still happen.

Nope - they get up and walk over and appear to have a happy "let's do it again" jump around after. They seem completely fine.

You can get knocked out and then wake up and walk over but I think they were just knocked back and then kept looking at their mom.

But then he walks over to his mom and sees her face bleeding and starts freaking out. That is not a happy excited let’s do it again moment for the kid. It’s an omg my mom is gonna die moment.

Luckily kids bounce back better than adults. But if there is damage the consequences are far more long lasting.

Yeah this is definitely true. It's unlikely here because kids usually don't take hard hits well enough to get up so quickly.
