Why do we get knocked out?!
Question: Brian's answer is good. Here is a little additional information: A blow to the head or banging the head against something, causes the brain to hit against your skull and causes a bruise. This incident is called a concussion which may are may not cause one to become unconcious. From a website:
One concussion isn't so bad. Each successive knock to the head, however, multiplies your risk of suffering permanent memory loss, brain damage or even a loss in vision, hearing, smell or dexterity. A history of concussions may result in slurred speech, learning disabilities, balance problems and emotional instability.
The chance of receiving a second concussion is four times greater than receiving the first. Even the mildest of concussions may cause flu-like symptoms of dizziness and fatigue for a week. More serious concussions may lead to irritability and restless sleep for up to six months.
Various studies in the pages of Neurology, the Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine and the Journal of the American Medical Association show that most career boxers have noticeable symptoms of brain damage: slurred speech, slow movements, confusion, random blackouts, emotional instability, severe mood swings and confrontations with the law, to name but a few.
This should give you a little more information about being "knocked out".

its just natural.
When your head sustains a hit, your brain will knock against the inside of your skull and short circuit.
When the brain gets bounced inside of your skull, against the bone, it sort of "short-circuits" the signals.
This reaction is not some sort of "life-saving" technique developed by our bodies to prevent attack, it is just a reaction to a hard, or direct blow to the skull or neck.
Being knocked unconscious, could be deadly, or cause severe trauma, that may lead to paralysis or brain damage
That fool(Magley64) with the other answer cracks me up, he must be thinking about an opossum, or just not thinking....lol....
