Pre-existing: there would have to be a preexisiting arterial wall weakness: these actions, in and of themselves will not cause a carotid dissection in an otherwise healthy person.

Forget about it: Crazy rare. There would have to be an already existent abnormality or prior surgery for that to happen.
