@neurocidesakiwi No, it's not just you, I was thinking the same thing. Any time there is a fight breaking out they should just send an aussie in to calm everyone down.

Is it just me or do the ozzies accent make things calm?

@eddief32 Thanks, think I'll take care not to damage my neck anywhere!!

[eddief32]

@Katmarie100 Spot on, Kat. That's exactly why you immobilise the neck - a few inches above the neck is the brain stem, and the spinal cord goes through the neck, through the vertebrae, and right down the back. If you happen to trap the nerves of the spinal cord, or sever it anywhere along the route, you can cause immediate loss of sensation, full paralysis, and as you say, death. Severing the cord above the chest, i.e within T1 or higher, will cause immediate respiratory collapse.

@3FsJones I'm guessing because of the fact that that's where the nerves that give you feeling in the rest of your body go through and the ones that control your movement, so if you broke your neck and it moved too much it could damage or even sever those nerves meaning you could end up instanstly dead or paralised for life!

[3FsJones]

I never got why if someones neck is broken, moving them is bad? It's already broken!! Does it make it worse?
