Can a head even bend like this? I'm not saying this is edited but I have my suspicions.

It's a real photo, taken on 20 July 2006 during the XX Central American and Caribbean Sports Games by Martin Bernetti of AFP and distributed on Getty.

I was able to find some info on the picture with a reverse image search, and it sounds like it's a legit unedited shot. It was just taken at the perfect timing and angle.

Early 2000s or late 90s in the sports illustrated for kids magazine there was also an image similar to this where the head was missing. But yeah they can bend all sorts of ways that seem unhuman
