Whiplash??


Question Posted Saturday January 23 2010, 2:04 pm

Is this what whiplash feels like?
I was snowboarding last night and i flew off this jump really damn fast about 7 feet high i pulled a grab trick and realised i was flying backwards... i hit the landing on my feet but caught an edge and slammed my head backwards in to the floor. i had my helmet on so the back of my head is fine and my head only hurt a TINY bit for a about 3 mins. after the crash my neck felt kinda wierd, like just under my jaw it feels numb and my neck kinda feels like i pulled a muscle a bit. its not major but it is hard to turn my head the way i used to.

iv done this once before messing around head banging to metal in the car with my freinds but that was yeeeaarrs ago.. we were copying the scene from waynes world lol.

Matt answered Sunday January 24 2010, 5:50 am:
The exact injury mechanism that causes whiplash injuries is unknown. A whiplash injury may be the result of impulsive stretching of the spine, mainly the ligament: anterior longitudinal ligament which is stretched or tears, as the head snaps forward and then back again causing a whiplash injury.[5]
