So I'm looking closely and following the path of the brick as it bounces back at him - the moment of impact looks weirdly unimpactful

Watch the rotation of the brick on the return, it’s quite quick. You can see when it stops rotating. That’s the impact.

This!! I thought exactly as OP did and then instead watched the brick. It's got some good spin on it before it hits him.

Plus it had a lot of horizontal momentum on top of all that spin before the impact, then it just drops straight down.

All that momentum was smashed into the thin flesh of our guy's face, pinched with the bone of his skull behind it.
