accident Skater face plants after flying over bench.

No maybe on the spinal injury.

The 90+ degree angle between the cervical and thoracic spine is hard to achieve without some “realignment” of some pretty critical cervical structures, but I’m no skater. Maybe they teach surving special neck contortions in skater school.

From what I can see, he might have been lucky - he broke his own fall with his hands and arms - skaters (both skate boarders and those on inline skates, roller skates), have learned to fall the "right" way.
(The first thing you do when you crash face forward is stretch your arms, your hands will be bruised, skin chafed, bloodied but your head and spine still intact.)

You never know, sometimes it can be so minor that you don't realize that your spine is fucked up until later. Stuff like autonomic dysreflexia can still appear even if they can still walk, which really fucking sucks.

Then again skaters are usually as good at falling as a rugby player. They always fall better than they skate, because they do a lot of falling at first. He'll probably walk it off.
