I broke my neck in 3 places on this play but got up and ran off the field. Broke C1 C3 and C4. Doc says I'm lucky to be alive, let alone walking.

I uploaded a broadcast of the game. The camera stays on me all the way till I'm off the field. check it out

  • Not saying you're lying or anything as I don't know you, but being a medically trained person if you had broken, I mean actually fractured, anything higher than your C5 you would not have been able to stand up, much less move your neck like you did when you were taking off your helmet.

  • @RiverSolitaire Oh how I wish you were actually right. Either that, or I should have had you explaining to my doctors that they were wrong. haha. Again, I didn't sever my spinal chord. I fractured those vertebre. I appreciate the comment, but please make sure what your saying has validity before you say it.

  • @livinup88 Lucky break to fracture your four upper vertebrae and have no chord damage. There's a saying in the first responder community, C5, stay alive, C4, breathe no more. Glad you were alright.

  • @RiverSolitaire I appreciate the comments. Believe me, I know how incredibly lucky I am. I have God to thank for that.
