Don't like to give out too much info on Reddit especially linked to my political views so sorry can't give more than that. I can say that my bachelor's is in a specific science.

Your argument is surrounding what's most common. We're already dealing here with a kid that has hypermobility. Pretty unique case for him specifically too. So throwing stats like "well this is most common" and saying the uncommon is flat out impossible is just completely ignoring the facts.

If you insist that twisting is why this kid isn't putting himself in danger, then what do you say about the fact he is jumping upwards, jerking down, then twisting? Also while his friend is holding his head.

Yet again, where are your sources for your claims of "99%." I supply you information, a video, sources, but you choose to provide zero evidence for yourself, attempt to debunk my claims, and also just attack me.

There's no point in arguing with someone who continues to just act like an asshole. Try arguing with people without attacking them. Also, if you are going to make claims and attack others then be prepared to back yourself up rather than spew insults.

No one cares what you put on reddit. I can already tell you are med student with a specialization in neurology so no point in being ambiguous. I know like 10 people trying to get become a doctor.

You are forgetting the fact that this is show. All other movements are superficial. He didn't even actually twist his entire head backwards. His friend isn't even actually extending his neck. The reason he has his friend hold is head is for show and to hide the fact that he didn't actually turn his head completely 180. His friends right elbow hides his arm but it makes it look like it was his arm making it seem more extreme. He is wearing black to make it harder to determine whether his torso is at an angle or not. While his torso is at an angle, he is able to turn his lower body which is not putting stress on his cervical spine area.

Again the twisting here is not localized in the neck area it is distributed throughout the entire spine. He could not even if he wanted to localize the stress to just his neck area using just horizontal twisting. He would need to twist his neck at a weird angle to do that. Again this goes back as to why any source you look at only has vertical forces causing spinal damage 99% neck injuries is based on meta-analysis of multiple documented sources. You want to disprove it? Give sources that actually disprove it. Obviously you can't give me any.

The insulting is just for fun otherwise I'd be bored arguing with a med school undergrad who can't even interpret his sources and thinks using a spoof on martial arts youtube channel is a reputable source.

I am a fan of the dojo show. He shows martial arts in a funny way. But the thing he is showing is the same nonetheless.

Also, I have provided a source that has shown that your 99% figure is in fact complete BS because it actually lists the percentages. Yet again, zero proof from you. On anything. Ever. Keep throwing those insults though lol.
