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.

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.
