I found this definition of blunt force trauma:
So what is blunt force trauma? Well, it is trauma caused by a blunt object (a bat, the floor, a dashboard, etc..). Sharp force trauma, for example, is trauma caused by a sharp object (i.e. a knife, etc...). There are many typical signs of blunt force trauma: a lacerated aorta or other major vessel (thus massive internal bleeding), lacerated organ, hematoma, contusions, crushed or severed spinal cord. These are some of the major signs and only one has to be present in order to cause death. So in a way blunt force trauma is an umbrella term. It is sufficient enough to put on a death certificate. If a family member or lawyer needed more information then they could consult the autopsy report.

And this one:
Simply, a blunt force trauma is an injury caused by a blunt object, ie not sharp; such as a bat, pipe, book, ect.
This can kill you because it can cause subdermal hematomas which is basically bleeding under the skin or skull.
Blunt force traumas are also dangerous because they transfer the force of the blow throughout the entire head, thus making point fractures and problems around the head.
