He wanted to make a good impression, so he got a concussion. | ||

Does this mean "he was concussed"? By a blow to the head? Does "impression" mean that he wished some other person? or persons? to think well of him? | ||

Did he hit himself on the head? Was this blow to the head the result of some accident? | ||

Did he hit himself on the head? well, he suffered the blow to the head entirely through his own actions. But he didn't hit himself over the head with a hammer or similar implement, if that's what you had in mind. Was this blow to the head the result of some accident? yes, in that he didn't do it on purpose | ||
