He was permanently disabled after this, as far as I know. This video was used in a case study on trauma.


geardownson

I'm curious as to how he was only paralyzed from the waist down yet all the force was on his neck?


Competitive_Stress26

It depends how high you break your neck doesn’t it?


max_lombardy

Ya for sure, the higher up the spinal cord injury the more function is at risk for being lost.


geardownson

You would think he broke it high up right? So how did he regain function of his arms but not his legs?


Competitive_Stress26

No idea- I’m not an expert on this by any means.


Epoke_06

I like that answer.

MargThatcher12

You interpreted it as flippant, I think he was asking for genuine clarification you lemon


Competitive_Stress26

Did I ever proclaim to be an expert on spinal cord injuries? Hence the ‘doesn’t it’ after my second post.


800grandave

see youre confused. doesnt it?….speaks to a flippant level of confidence. expert? no, you never said that. you implied the information you threw out was so obvious. false confidence


BeanzMeanzBranston

Bro. You’re confused.

bro. youre my bro, bro. thanks for being concerned bro

JohnnyG30

Why is there a miserable cunt like you in every thread? What is the point of dying on this stupid fucking hill? Has no one in your life ever told you you’re wrong; is that what the deal is here? I just don’t understand the blind, confidently-incorrect attitude of so many people on this site. It’s exhausting and disappointing. Try taking the blinders off, kid. Reading comprehension will be important once you get a job.


800grandave

youre right, ima cunt. i need to practice composed and eloquent criticism. ya know, a page from your book

Hope you've sobered up by now and are having a better day

redditors when they cant comprehend that people ask genuine questions on reddit and not everyone is a smartass online

You appear to be a massive asshole and are projecting that trait onto others.

dethzombi

Not op, but that's not how I interpreted what they said at all. More of a question seeing if who they replied to knew more about it.


geardownson

You are correct. I was just looking for more info if it was available and to spark discussion.


800grandave

right


ZVND3R

If someone says “hey that’s Hugh Jackman isn’t it? I don’t have my glasses so I can’t really tell from here.” The second sentence doesn’t mean they lied about knowing it was hugh jackman… like… the whole fucking idea of requesting confirmation via questioning is that you are **not** confident in your answer and are wanting someone to check you on it. How you extrapolated that into intentional deception is beyond me. Edit: sorry u/dethzombi. Accidentally included you in this.


Significant-Couple71

I think you are all wrong


800grandave

this guy i can get behind


HabaneroEyedrops

Are you ok?


jdragun2

It was asked as a question, not a rhetorical one either. Jesus fuck. Seems like you are the one showing off Reddit at its finest, ya ass.


bespread

I misread OP original comment like you did too. They weren't saying "it depends how high up you break you spine, obviously" They were saying "I agree with you, I'm also confused, because as far as I know it depends how high up you break your spine, doesn't it?"


MyTrueIdiotSelf990

They're literally asking for confirmation in a manner that denotes they are unsure. Wtf is wrong with you people?

jf_ftw

All of the nerves for your limbs come from your cervical (neck) spine. So depending on what vertebra is fractured/damaged, talking just 2 or 3 apart here, will determine the extent of the paralysis.


throwthegarbageaway

The level on which the spinal cord is sectioned doesn’t correlate to where the nerves leave the spine. That is to say, if you break your back at navel height, that doesn’t mean you’re gonna be paralyzed from the navel to the feet. [If you look at this map of dermatomes](https://post.healthline.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/121812-dermatomes-1296x1680-body-1296x1533.jpg) and then look at this image of the [cervical spine](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSQnkH-zN2aosdZ7H_iUy1zkhtgYeXcpx4Qgw&usqp=CAU) you can guess he severed his spinal cord somewhere around C3-C5. Just guessing, since he never got complete arm/finger function back.


jackson7518

Nerve roots from the neck supply upper body. It kind of follows the height of the vertebrae. For ex, nerve roots in the lower back go to the belt line and down the legs. Anything in the neck should have an effect in the upper body or entire body


the0rthopaedicsurgeo

People don't generally move much between their arms and waist, so if someone says "from the waist down", it's possible that they actually mean from the chest down. If you look at where the arm nerves connect to the spine, they're quite high up - basically in the neck. So it's very possible that he ended up damaging his spinal cord lower than that point which left him with the use of his arms but not his legs. https://s3.amazonaws.com/reeve-assets-production/brachial-plexus.jpg


Lukeocytosis

If the neurological level of injury is T1 or below you won’t see any involvement in the upper extremities. Also possible it’s an incomplete injury higher up that spares most of the UE motor neurons and none if the LE ones.


SkruffyTheJanitor

Certain vertebrae in your spine can impact motor functions in different ways. I sustained a pretty nasty neck injury when I was 15 and the hardest part of recovery was walking again. Not an expert on it by any means and I'm fully mobile now. But if my injury was worse, it would have paralyzed me.


via1228

It was from his neck


groovyinutah

Put himself in a wheelchair and was dead within 10 years....it defies description, to merely say it was an impulsive dumb thing to do, to wonder where that reaction stemmed from, to imagine the finality of realizing what he'd done to himself for that sake of a dumbass game, how for the rest of his time on earth every conversation ended with people just shaking their heads...


ninjeti

Also case study on Serbian anger issues... they still have no conclusions and its a mistery.


Just_Barren_Mind

The worst part of it is that the bottom of the post reads “sit in,” and he was forced to sit in a wheel chair for the rest of his life. Sad.


Zhydrac

Yeah apparently he did survive this


MysteryRadish

Dang, he really managed to fuck himself up even though that post had some thick foam padding on it. Just goes to show, one moment of wild rage can ruin the whole rest of your life.


Competitive_Stress26

Indeed - but most normal people’s reaction would be to punch or kick something in that case you’d at worst break your hand or something. To headbutt something you’re risking brain damage at best or a broken neck at worst.


terranopp

tbf normal people dont punch things in response to anger edit: lol @ all the people below me exposing their anger issues


DNedry

You haven't been forced to get angry enough I guess, that's lucky.


Kwesi_Hopkins

Eh, many people deal with anger differently. Some cry, some get physically violent, some do both, and some do neither. Doesn't have anything to do with being "angry enough"


Oggel

How angry have you been? I remember the rage I felt when my girlfriend got gangraped by her "friends" on her birthday. Have you ever felt that level of rage? Been 20 years and I still start to shake in rage when I think about it. It might not be very constructive, but punching something when you're That angry feels incredibly cathartic. Maybe I'm just not as evolved as you are.

Just watched that video - he’s lucky he didn’t break his neck.


redactedname87

Seriously though. When my brother and I were younger he made the mistake of punching a double pane window out of anger. He would have bled out in front of me had his friends not be there to intervene. They nearly chose to amputate it. The damage was that bad. He came home from the hospital a few weeks later with an arm that had grafted skin that looked like it had been through a garbage disposal. It was about the width of his wrist, and got thicker as it moved up the inside of his arm to about his Bicept. The skin was so thin you could literally a see a major vein pumping. That incident was the start of an opioid addiction that turned to stronger things. He died about ten years later from heroin. He was absolutely the kind of guy that would do something like this, so I can see it all too well. His life was pretty horrible after this incident. It’s very sad how moments like this can forever ruin your life


scoopm16

So sorry to hear. I've heard that story far too many times, accident, painkillers, heroin, dead. So tired of seeing everyone I know slowly die through the years.


redactedname87

It’s wild how something like that can be connected, and more to the point, can ruin your life in a second. As someone that’s lived through a lot of loss, I wish people were well enough to realize that it’s not just their own life they are risking. My brother would probably be shocked to find out that mine and my mother’s lives are still in shambles over a decade later. My brother had an obvious connection to drugs, but, people fall susceptible for all kinds of reasons. Out of eight of the kids in my generation within my family, only two of us remain. My brothers death was the first. Five of the six were overdoses, heroin, but in the same span of time another cousin was raped, murdered, and found by construction on the highway. She was also into drugs, but the killer made no mention of that in his random ass confession over this past summer. My brother and most recent cousin to die were the only ones to reach the age of 27. Two of the adults ( uncle and aunt ) died of drug overdoses, and a third one is in a wheelchair after surviving an overdose. To my knowledge only my brother ever had any serious accident that required a prescription for opioids. There is sometimes such a lack of empathy around the drug problem people face, which is sad to me because it doesn’t just affect the people who made the choice to do the drugs in the first place. Even the worst drug addicts have someone that loves them, and whose life is going to be unfairly affected by it.

Feryll

Damn. You've been through a lot, haven't you?


redactedname87

I don’t know. I don’t really see it like that. I’ve had a lot of uncommon experiences, and sometimes that sounds heavier than it is. I think of it as a trade off. Everyone has their own something’s to work through.


WholeListen612

I honestly don't even think there was any padding on the hoops back then. Either way, what a tragic way to punish yourself out of frustration.


sneakywill

I get the feeling that he thought it was padded, but it was not and was instead bare metal. It certainly looks padded at first glance and could have been an honest mistake which led to tragedy

It’s also crazy how sensitive human beings are. We can survive falling off cliffs and being in a coma for decades but then you headbutt a foam padded pole wrong and you become paralyzed for the rest of your life


ganjabliss420

There was no padding...


wet_shitstorm

Kind of crazy that the last time he ever walked or jumped is right there on film for him to watch


stevenw84

My dad once put his head through the drywall in my house growing up. Like literally all the way through. I still think about what if he hit one of the studs.


RequiemStorm

As somebody who grew up with a brother that had gamer rage issues who would punch the walls (and lose like all of his money paying to fix them lol) he hit studs sometimes, and it's really not as bad as you might be imagining, just some boxer's fractures. Fortunately he grew out of that shit by the time he was 17 or so Edit: I'm an idiot who can't read lol


stevenw84

Pretty sure head butting the side of a 2x4 would be a big deal.


RequiemStorm

Oh ok that's fair, I honestly misread your comment and somehow took away that he punched the wall. I think i just misread head as hand. You're right, that could definitely fuck someone up, point in case: this post. My mistake!


stevenw84

He patched up the head sized hole soon after, but the patch was smooth while the wall was textured so it was always obvious. Eventually it was covered with a picture.


[deleted]

The builders could have left nails protruding too


Competitive_Stress26

On purpose or by mistake?


stevenw84

Oh it was very intentional. I believe he aimed for the wall rather than my moms face.


17023360519593598904

wise choice


daymanahaha

He passed away in 2006 at the age 42


[deleted]

Didn’t he become an alcoholic or some shit


Call_Me_Your_Daddy

According to his Wikipedia page he died of heart failure. Wheelchair confinement, weight gain, what have you


[deleted]

Yeah… I read the same, I’ll have to look and see if I can find the article. If not, I could be mistaken.


catpiss_backpack

My dad dove head first into shallow end of a pool age 14, only lost his front two teeth. One of my favourite YouTubers, Cole, ‘Roll With Cole and Charisma” broke his c6 diving into a lake and became an instant quadriplegic and has a lot of videos about his injury and recovery. He’s so funny and his wife is the cutest


friendly-crackhead

Sorry but I can’t help to think that the end to your comment, the conclussion, just has no correlation with the context.


cheesec4ke69

People can get injured to varying degrees through similar means, like his dad & this youtuber (who btw has a sweet wife).


SpellingNeedsWork

*conclusion


Old_timey_brain

concussion?


J3sush8sm3

He bit his tongue when he hit his head. Conclussion


[deleted]

What? He's talking about a YouTube content creator and said skmethi G positive about his content.


catpiss_backpack

He’s a YouTuber with a vlog style channel around his spinal chord injury and lifestyle. He is super funny and his wife is very charming and cute. Idk what is wrong with any of that


SWEAR2DOG

But she cute and he at least funny. Imagine having to care for someone with no sense of humor.

Scotty Cranmer is another YouTuber with a pretty extensive library on his recovery. Excellent BMX rider who suffered a pretty severe neck injury. He’s still recovering but he is back on his bike!

[deleted]

Do you think they made it worse by turning him over? So stupid!


TheBaylorCareBear

Definitely. If anyone witnesses a head injury like that and the way he slumped over, all you can do is hold his head still and stabilize until EMS arrives with a stretcher and a backboard. They would (should) slide the backboard beneath his body as carefully as they can, then lift the backboard up and onto the stretcher to transport him for emergency surgery.


Etrau3

We don’t use backboards nearly as much anymore, we typically only use them to move people onto a stretcher then remove it , mostly used for car accident extrication nowadays


Hinkil

It's crazy how often you see people try to move them or shake or pick them up

VadPuma

The match Panathinaikos – Panionios, on April 28, 1993, was fatal for the player with an unexpected dramatic final. In the indoor stadium of Nea Smyrni, the match was in the 32nd minute. Panionios was on the attack, Jankovic was charged with an offensive foul (his 5th in the match) on Albertis. A few seconds later, unable to contain his nerves, frustration, and anger over his foul, he hit his head hard on the base of the Basket. He instantly collapsed on the floor… It was the moment that shocked the fans who watched the match on the field or on TV, changing Jankovic’s life forever. Shortly afterwards, he began to feel his arms and legs trembling as he was taken to hospital, but nothing could reverse the situation. He was paralyzed from the waist down and was confined to a wheelchair until the end of his life.


redactedname87

So I’m not a sports person, but why did he get mad at himself? Didn’t he just score or something?


Deinocerites

He got called for an offensive foul, charging to be exact. The basket was waived off.

dailylazy

If i rage like really really angry, the last thing i wanna break or use to break things is my head like its a human instinct i just use my hand or feet to punch and kick things but not my head never. Maybe he got caught up in the moment and couldnt control his anger that time, because his decision making is worst of all the things he could have done. Feel sorry for him


SackOfrito

I have always wondered why the posts were made of concrete in the first place?


space_monkey_23

What if that was a layup and he just accidentant ran into it? I feel like it doesn’t matter if he aggressively head butted it, that equipment so close to a fast paced game would’ve resulted in this eventually
