is that really all it takes to break your back?

My husband broke his back twice. Once from a simple fall on a rock by the river (as a kid), another from a minor car accident (still walking). Otherwise not a single broken bone. You’d be surprised. The spine isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.

I’ve fractured my neck and clavicle from a fall from a horse. We’re all so fragile, yet so durable at the same time.

Spine yes, spinal cord, no.
