Very weird. I've skiied and snowboarded for 20 years and hit my head pretty hard a few times and (though some may dispute it) been fine. But yeah, sometimes a relatively soft hit in just the wrong spot can do the damage.
I was snowboarding last Friday on the far edge of a groomed run and almost caught my toe edge - I caught myself in time, but if I hadn't I'd have likely slammed my head/face into a tree.
That scare combined with this news has convinced me to get a helmet.
