Which region of the brain is even tearing from that directional impact? You never see it and it's moving toward the stem!!

I don't think you could accurately predict which area of the brain will be affected off mechanism. The site of injury would more likely occur at a site of vascular weakness that would be unique to each individual and injury, but probably with some more commonly occurring ones via a certain mechanism of injury.

Also it would more likely be a subdural or subarachnoid haemorrhage (bleeding in the protective tissue layers around the brain) as opposed to a true intracerebral bleed (bleeding in the brain itself):

Life hack for the day: if you suddenly develop the worst headache of your life primarily focused in the back of your head you prob need to call an ambulance.
