With a major accident like that, any movement of the injured person's body can result in paralysis. If any part of the neck gets fractured, the nerves that reside inside the neck can easily be severed, and that damage will hardly ever repair itself. EMS puts the neck support collars on people who might not even have a chance of a neck injury, just to be safe.
Wouldn't you love to be the fast acting green-horn reporter that completely changes someones life for the worse?
