I was Back Judge a few years ago. Running play to the Line Judge side. I was moving toward the hash mark when out of the corner of my eye I see a player coming. Watching the video tape of it, he did not see me. His facemask hit the side of my head. I go down thinking damn that hurt. I hear the Linesman running up to me yelling my name. I tried to answer but could not. I heard him say "He's out!" I wake up 10 minutes later with the ambulance out on the field. They have the spine board next to me. What was strange is that I remembered the play, the score and how much time was left in the game. I got up and finished the game. The funny thing about it was I cracked two ribs and that what was hurting during the rest of the game.
