Baby feel on a protruding screw-hit back of neck-is this serious? I hope you can answer my concern and hopefully put my mind at ease. My 11 month old fell backwards and hit the back of her neck (location is almost dead center vertically in the back of her neck and a horizontally a little left of center)on a screw that protrudes out from a leg on a little trampoline we have in our living room. It's been about 45 minutes and she's acting fine but I had a 18 month old niece that was hit in almost the same exact spot with the end of a dowel and died 3 days later so it's scaring me to death.
