Can you really SNAP someone’s neck? Like in the movies?

Hollywood often dramatizes neck injuries as instant and simple, but in reality, the neck is supported by strong muscles and crucial ligaments like the anterior and posterior longitudinal ligaments and the alar and transverse ligaments, which stabilize the upper cervical spine. In high-impact events, such as car crashes, these ligaments can suffer damage, leading to instability, chronic pain, reduced motion, headaches, and even neck hypermobility.

This risk is especially significant for individuals with hypermobility disorders, who naturally have more flexible ligaments, heightening their vulnerability to serious injury. While movie scenes make neck injuries appear easy, real-life impacts are much more complex and can have lasting effects. If you’ve been in an accident or have concerns about neck stability, it’s essential to get evaluated, as ligament injuries may develop into long-term issues if untreated.

Nar man, there's a documentary on neck snaps you should have watched before you get up here on YouTube - it's called Cyberpunk 2077. Scares the hell out of me.
