no
Answerno
L> well, depends on how slightly is "slightly". If I were to grab a book
and drop it on top of your head at a distance of 15cm. This can actually
kill your brain cells. However, if I were to touch my brain with my index finger
as if it was my iphone, then the answer would be no. However, if I were to
tap, then it would kill my brain cells.

∙ 13y agoA blow to the head can cause bruising, mainly from the brain hitting the side of the cavity inside the skull. Think of a marble in a cup, and shake the cup. The marble hits the sides. If it were made of living tissue (instead of glass) and the impact were hard enough, it could get a bruise. This could lead to damage.
It depends on how hard it was banged. If it was banged with iron/woodblocks, then it will bleed and might possibly damage your brain system. but if it is hit against a wall, you might posibly lost your memory or die.
