A coup injury is the result of a sudden, violent stop that causes the brain to accelerate forward and hit the side of the skull. A contracoup injury, on the other hand, occurs when the brain accelerates forward, hits the side of the skull, and then bounces off the other side of the skull. In both cases, the brain is damaged as it rubs against the inner ridges of the skull.
