And the victim may not even know they are injured that badly if they do get away. Liam Neeson's wife is a case in point. She suffered an injury to the temple (if I recall correctly) and seemed fine at first so she didn't seek prompt medical attention. The result was that she died of her injury. So a person could be struck, be in a daze as a result and not know they are in serious trouble til it's too late.
