Can you recover from a neck snap without permanent injury?

374 viewsBiologyOther

So I know the neck snap killing is just hollywood magic and in an old post someone said its extremely hard to do even if you are a weightlifter. Im just curious that if someone tried and fumbled or you had an accident to cause such a similar neck injury would you be able to recover without issue or can it lead to paralysis?

Broken neck and back here. 6 weeks with a brace but no surgeries due to clean fractures. I did have to have my collarbone operated on though as it went inward and almost pierced my heart. Lucky to be alive, let alone walking from where I broke my neck. Feels fine, but there are definitely days where I can hear the crunching when I move my neck. Don’t have a seizure at the top of the stairs. Definitely don’t recommend it!
