vital internal circuits, who wrote that claptrap, then the description felt sick reading it, was it really abc thought they would have higher standards of writing than that. They must have been going for sensalist stories and making them sound far worse than they were.

Has abc been taken over by the national enquirer?

I kinda thought that myself, or what I actually thought: WTF???

Normally the skull is attached to the neck by a thick ligament that runs from the base to the first vertebra. During the accident his head was ripped forward, which ripped his ligament. This opened up a space between the head and the neck.

There was a wide separation of the bone where the skull was ripped from the cervical spine, detaching the head from the neck.

His spinal cord and arteries weren't damaged. His head was reattached with surgical screws and a piece of his pelvis was used to patch his neck and skull together.

In other words, his head wasnt severed in any respect, he just had a large tear at the back

lucky man that the spine wasnt servered but hardly decapatation

i saw something almost exactly like this on Ripley's Believe It or Not a few nights a go they also said his head had been re-attached after being knocked off in a car accident when all it was was the spine and skull had come away (inside) but he was still alive and they did all these operations on him and he was a 'miracle' as he is now walking without aid and getting to watch his grankids grow up.

i love Ripley's

Not having Sky/Cable, I've only seen 1 or 2 eps of Ripley's, but it is pretty cool
