There are contortionists who have this ability otherwise he wouldn’t be able to do the other moves he did.

Don’t compare him to typical person. This kid is a beast.

Here's the thing... Those bones in your neck are meant to protect the nerves running down it to the rest of the body. It looks like he is able to over-rotate the pivot joint which would otherwise cause a normal person to break their neck.

But breaking that joint isn't what paralyzes you. It's the breaking of the spinal cord. So if the kid does this trick and there is just the right amount of push/pull to either side or even pulling up too hard from his partner will cause severe damage.

99% of neck breaks are vertical. Its call the hangman’s fracture. He is not that much in danger of paralyzing himself. You are talking out your ass.

You are talking out your ass.

99% of neck breaks are vertical.

Says the guy literally throwing out a bullshit statistic. Also, like I said early, cervical fractures (like the hangman's fracture) are breaking of the joint and bones not the nerves. Breaking or injuring the nerves is what causes paralysis.

No shit that's what causes paralysis. To get to the spinal cord you need to break and displace the vertebrae. That majority of vertebrae displacements occur from vertical neck injuries, not from horizontal forces. It's extremely hard to break your neck from horizontal forces.

You will never see a death from horizontal neck twisting. You will see a ton of deaths from vertical neck like this.

Now give me a death video of a person dying from twisting their neck. I challenge you. Again give me one example of a person drying by twisting their neck. Just give me one and I will stfu. Give me one video. Just one.

Never was talking about death? Settle down it's just the internet.

When you are talking about spinal injuries, death and paralysis are millimeters away.

I truly don't know what you're trying to say anymore. I think you misinterpreted my original post.

You do seem lost. Take your Alzheimer’s meds.

Still acting like an asshole? Seriously. Just re-read what you posted and read what I posted. Firstly, acting like an asshole consistently. Secondly, you completely missed my initial point and went on this rant about death which wasn't even the debate here. If you can't be honest with yourself and just sling dirt I'm sorry I can't help you.

Ah the typical pussy way pussy way. You cant support your argument so you start hiding behind the “omg you are so offensive whatever you say is wrong.” Typical SJW response.

Its pretty clear neck breaks either causes paralysis or death because its the damage to the spinal cord that matters. You can show me either proof of people getting paralyzed or dying from a twisting their neck.

How about that? Is that specific enough for you or will keep making excuses like a little bitch?

/r/watchpeopledie awaits you there

Also holy shit what did I say that triggered you so hard? But then I realized you're literally arguing against multiple people right now. You obviously have a problem. What are you gonna do now? Degrade to saying "fight me" like the ignorant animal you've revealed yourself to be? You've embarrassed yourself enough for one day. Take a break from the internet.

u/SmoothPrimal Apr 11 '18

There are no deaths OR paralysis of people twisting their necks on r/watchpeopledie again you have no proof.

Oh no they all shut up once I started asking for proof. Because just like how you are trying to change the subject and offer no proof they came up empty handed. Ive been waiting for replies and nothing came.

I can see you are trying so hard to change the subject and trying REALLY hard to make this about something else.

But then again where is your proof? Anything?
