In the article it clearly states that shaking does not cause the hemorrhage that's currently considered "shaken baby syndrome". It literally says there aren't documented cases where the shaking was captured on tape/testified and the symptoms present at the same time.
It's more likely that a fall (or being thrown) would cause the symptoms.
I read it as no cases where shaking caused ONLY the retinal/subdural haemorrhage, without any other trauma.
That's indeed what I said, but I was cautious. I'd have to dig into the latest literature to be sure, but I don't remember seeing even 1 case where shaking with no impact was independently witnessed or videotaped, and was shown to cause retinal/subdural haemorrhage, with or without any other form of trauma.
In any case, these situations are extremely rare, much more than those involving any kind of head impact.
