Spine injury: Do not put yourself at risk of any injury. Even if the task seems to be easy and doable, something that you've done before many times, this time it may turn out to be the worst ever.

Did u hurt yourself?: I'm missing the picture. So you run & jump for a high cabinet that is one arm's length out of your reach. Running & jumping won't injure your spine, not in & of itself. However, if you fall & injure yourself, then yes, something can happen to your spine. Try re-asking your question again so that we can provide a better answer for you.
