I just yawned and broke my neck bone...Even life threatening

According to The Sun and other foreign media, Hayley Black, 36, of Milton Keynes, England, yawned after her daughter yawned one morning.
It was a normal routine, but she immediately felt electroshock-like pain all over her body, and she did not move with her arms fixed in the air.
Feeling strange, she asked her husband to call an ambulance immediately and was taken to the hospital.
Despite the extreme pain, the initial examination found no abnormalities, but a close examination of the neck confirmed that the C6 and C7 cervical vertebrae were pushed into the spine.
Hayley said "With the force of yawning, the neck bone popped into the spine. It was an unbelievable accident," he said.
At the time, the medical staff said "It may be critical or it may become demoralized in the future."
Fortunately, thanks to the medical staff's quick emergency surgery, paralysis or life-threatening due to lack of oxygen was avoided, but Haley left with permanent nerve damage and tracheostomy scars. After that, he had to learn how to walk again while living in a wheelchair for six months, and now he is suffering from fibromyalgia, a chronic pain disease.
She "Even now, the pain spreads to my arms, back, neck, and head. Every time I yawn, I get scared, and I'm still affected if I force myself to endure it.' Skipping medicine brings back electric shock-like pain to the spine and head even in simple steps, but she added "I'm grateful that I can move my body now, thinking that I almost got into a wheelchair for the rest of my life with a yawn."
