bullshit vid. It all depends on drop height. That's why that was so important. Shallow drop: asphyxiation. Normal drop: neck snaps. Big drop: decapitation.

My guess is that since it was a short vid, that they weren't going to go into the different "drops", but more into what would "normally" happen...

Agree....why is it called a hangmans fracture (C2) if the neck doesnt break?  Also, some examination of trauma to brain stem should be in order too.  Disrupt or snap cord near there...its "lights out"
