Can getting ur back cracked and having ur head in a bad position break neck?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When you give high impact force or sudden torsion of the neck, one of the seven cervical vertebrae can fracture causing broken neck. I will highly suggest not to do any activity which is known to cause cervical fracture as it can affect spinal cord and causing paralysis. Hope it helps.
