Random internet search says it takes 1000-1250 foot pounds of torque to break a neck.
A 200 pound person only has to fall 5 feet to make that happen. When you factor in the additional speed, the less controlled angles, and probably drinking, it's shocking the number of deaths isn't higher.

I was surprised how low the number was when assuming it was fake with the instantly snapped necks phrasing.
People really have no idea how dangerous fast moving vehicles can be.
