I rolled onto my neck doing handstands today, (stupid mistake I know). It kind of made a cracking noise, but theres no pain or anything. I'm a hypochondriac about these things, but should I be worried? I have full motion of everything in my body, and I feel normal. Is there a time period before damage occurs? If there is damage would i know it? Sorry for being a pussy lol but the spinal cord area is my biggest concern.

I fell on my head. I can now crack my neck at will.

I've done that before too. Fallen on the back of my head with my legs coming over me. Heard a loud snap and I thought I was done for. Got up and didn't really feel anything. I'd take it easy for a day or two though and see if there's any pain.

Just to be sure, don't be afraid to get it checked out. The neck is far too sensitive of an area, and you can never be too careful ;)

Yeah after I sat up I twisted back and forth to see if it was ok and I cracked it like knuckles. I'm assumming this is a good sign and not an injury...this is also my first impacting fall ever, so it's kind of scary, I'm pumped from the adrenaline lol.

Learn to roll and pirouette out of your handstands.

Usually I do, sort of twist out of a bad one and land on my feet, but this time I started going forward and for some reason I couldn't twist :/
