Is headbanging dangerous?

[jwildman]

This morning, like every morning, I was headbanging to dry my hair faster after a shower. And then at like 11:30 in school there was a pain around my neck and the entire room was just spinning. I'm fine now although my dad and the teacher thought I had just lit up a joint before class. Could headbanging have caused this?

I've seen a few articles around saying yeah it is. Personally (and I'm no physiologist), I know you're brain is essentially floating inside of you're skull, so it's susceptible to being jarred. And I've heard of instances where head trauma has caused changes in people's personalities because of the injury the brain suffers. Not to mention possible disc, vertebra, or spinal chord injuries. I've also never met an intelligent head banger, or if I have, they're few and far between.

Its called Whiplash, Combined with a Minor Concussion! Yes, it isn't good for you! Just ask a car crash victim or an NFL player after a game!

Not to mention that the nerves in the spine can be severed.

Every day? Jeez.

I don't do it often, but when I do I go to (brutal) town.

You can obtain the same effect and use a lot less energy by just hitting yourself on the head a few times with a hammer. And it will look just as cool.
