Gonna call BS. Who witnessed it. If he took a fall, are his hands or elbows bruised or cut at all? When I’ve tripped, I usually put my hands out to prevent hitting my melon on the ground.
He tripped and fell on a set of brass knuckles

I am.
I have fallen lots of times before, for lots of reasons. Scrapes, sprains, bruises. I even broke a bone once from a very hard landing.
As soon as anyone topples, they land on their hands. They hurt elbows and shoulders. No one gives up their head and loses consciousness except in the most rare circumstances, and they don’t also get a black eye, which is also rare unless taking a hit from the front or oblique angle to the face.
He is definitely covering something up. Probably protecting someone in his family or orbit.
I work with a guy who's in his mid-70's. He has low blood pressure and every couple of years he will stand up and immediately pass out and fall, with his head hitting whatever gets in the way. I've seen him with bruises and stitches from that several times.
“When I’ve tripped, I usually put my hands out to prevent hitting my melon on the ground.”
As would we all, if we can. However, sometimes it happens too fast for us to react.
Back in 2014 or ‘15, I took a fall. It happened so quickly that I had no time to react defensively. My nose broke my fall, and the fall broke my nose. It bled a great deal. But it healed.
