After seeing many thousands of patients over the years I can only comment that the number of broken necks I have seen are few and far between. The last odontoid peg fracture came off his mountain bike and carried it down Snowdon and was walking around for 3 days.
We put too many patients on boards who are walking at the scene and have no neck pain. I defy anyone to lie on one of those for 20 minutes and not get neck ache.
