Injured?

Serious neck injuries are uncommon in sports, but they can occur in sports that involve large forces, hard landings and falls. If you suspect that someone has sustained a neck injury, you should refrain from moving them until a competent health professional has deemed it safe to do so. Call an emergency telephone number for help.
