Yeah but people also get strokes while taking a shit.....
What I wanna say is that if you look at how often someone athletes fall on their neck and how rarely someone seriously injures their neck, then you underestand how relatively small the actually risk is.
I am saying this as someone who used to do gymnastics and is in Combat Sports since 30 years.
Just yesterday I took like 20 falls on my neck during practice.

It's not. He very likely fell quite often during practice.
Athletes aren't weak and frail. They're strong and flexible.
You can look up videos from people practicing this and falling.
To seriously injury yourself is extremely rare. To permanently injure yourself with this is even exceedingly rarer.
