I'm another monkey in the tree that thinks, at least possibly, she fell on something. BR is the only one I see hitting her with a golf club, and I don't see the case as BDI. I can't see any reason for JR or PR to use a golf club on her (or a maglite). I especially don't see her being bashed in the head because she screamed or because she was getting away from the perp.
Unfortunately it's another of the many aspects of the case we will likely never know.
Chrishope,
Well I'm partial to a scenario where JonBenet is being abused in some unusual posture, she screams, falls back whacking her head on something pretty solid.
otg has a scenario where JonBenet is tied up down in the basement, maybe this might fit?
Due to the position of the head bash, one other scenario, is JonBenet being gripped around her throat, so to silence her, reacting she steps back falls, but onto a door handle, or something similar?
With the head bash towards the back of the head, and given the layout of the R's house, there are a limited number of scenarios?
