WWE Superstar Tyson Kidd recently posted a scary statistic about his near-fatal neck injury on Twitter this week, claiming only 5% of people survive the same injury.
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter added to Kidd’s claim, noting Kidd’s claims were correct, and that doctors told him in the hospital that he was lucky to be alive.
Following surgery the doctors told Kidd his injury was so high in his neck that most people would have died, leading to the 5% survival rate stat. They said Kidd survived basically because he was an athlete with such a strong and muscular neck that it saved him.
Kidd was reported to be out of action for at least a year, with no timetable for a return.
