How human’s blood vessels withstand so many abuse (like boxing) when they look like a tiny fragile wire?

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?

Also note during boxing, boxers have hand wraps and also 16 ounces of foam on their hands dampening the direct impact and spreading it out a little bit.

Which isn’t to say you don’t still feel where you are striking with, you do, but it’s far lessened than without gear.
