I once read a juvenile book where a character was out riding a horse, got thrown onto a road, and got knocked out (she wasn't wearing a helmet, I guess). Other characters brought her home to sleep it off on the sofa.
As someone who is permanently impaired by a traumatic brain injury after getting knocked cold (by a concrete floor) this made me internally scream.
