The phycial size of a human being has absolutely zero to do with concussions

This is not true.
Although the same force is delivered to a reinforced concrete wall and a rabbit when you hit it with your car at 50 mph, one is demolished while the other demolishes you.
On top of that, an individual with a smaller mass has lower momentum when traveling at the same velocity as a more massive individual. They are easier to decelerate, and when their body is decelerated, their brain smashes at their former velocity against the front of their skull and then rebounds against the back of their skull.
