I watched a video about cranking neck where it could tear your blood vessels and form a blood clot which makes sense, but then how does this not happens more often? When we seems to get hurt from hitting something accidentally while in awhile
Learning about stroke help me understand how dangerous they can be with just one blood vessels get clogged and yet you see people hit each other in the head as a sport.
They also seems like a fragile wires so how can they withstand abuse is mystery to me, shouldn’t they burst out easily with some force?

The short answer is “they can’t”. Career boxers, professional american football players, and other people who get regular head injuries almost always end up with slow cumulative brain damage. Once you’ve studied this stuff (like I have) you’ll find that you can’t watch a lot of contact sports anymore because you’re basically watching someone slowly killing themselves for public entertainment.
