Like...brain stem shearing? Yuck.

Not necessarily. There are stories of horsemen getting bucked while staying in the saddle and having to hold their head up by the hair while riding to medical attention. They didn't become quadriplegic but the internal decapitation lost them control of their neck.

Not too sure why it isn't considered a broken neck though
