Not all of them are, but the higher mortality rate among injuries of the brain stem is due its function as a "control center" for breathing and heartbeat, two vital systems. If it gets damaged, the heart and lungs may not work properly.
Damage to the cerebral cortex is least likely to be fatal; damage to the medulla is most likely to be fatal.
Yes, brainstem injury can affect bowel function as the brainstem plays a crucial role in regulating autonomic functions such as digestion and bowel movements. Damage to the brainstem can disrupt the signals that control the smooth muscle movements necessary for normal bowel function. Symptoms may include constipation, diarrhea, and incontinence.

No. If it breaks it will cut them leading to fatal injuries.
Injuries to the brain or brainstem cause comatose states, but not only those two...comas can be causes by nervous system injuries, hypothermia, drug overdose, and metabolic problems.
The maximum lethal fall height that a human can survive without sustaining fatal injuries is generally considered to be around 50-60 feet. Falls from greater heights are more likely to result in severe injuries or death.
Yes, a .50 caliber weapon can cause fatal injuries without making direct contact with the target due to its high velocity and energy, which can result in significant tissue damage and internal injuries upon impact.
