Its hard to find video of a 3rd cervical strike, but here are some that give you an idea. That particular part of your spine can easily be moved forward enough to sever your spinal cord. The 1st,2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th all lock together and are harder to move- thats why Im pretty sure the hockey shot actually hit his 4-7 (otherwise I think he would have died or been permanently paralyzed immediately. As it was, he did have damage to his spine that resulted in him missing 78 games. He is still plaving proffessional hockey 🙂
