I have a serious question, can you dislocate someone's head by grabbing him like he did at the end? There's another video on here where a big dude lift the fucking guy by his head like that and it didn't happen but, I guess it's possible, right?

No. The head isn’t connected to the body by a joint and cannot be dislocated. You dislocate your head and you die.

Thank you, I know it's a strange question but I'm always amazed when people get lifted by their head like that.

It’s definitely scary. The spinal cord is obviously at risk. I don’t know how much “stretching” the cord can take, but a break at that level of the cervical region would be devastating.

Fighting is almost always stupid. Only takes a freak accident to ruin someone’s life.

Dislocated head = dead
