III. Reading Comprehension    A spinal cord injury doesn’t have to be deadly to be life-altering. According to the Mayo Clinic,damage to any part of the cord will affect bodily functions below the site of the injury. A vehicle accidentor a hard fall can have the same traumatic effect as a major athletic injury.    Many athletes, both elite and recreational, put themselves at risk of a spinal cord injury without evenknowing it.    With the picture in mind, you can probably guess the types of movement that put your spine at risk.One is jumping or dropping a relatively long distance. If you’re falling, think of a cat—and try to land onyour feet. Land with knees bent. Research shows that landing with bent knees greatly minimizes theimpact of a fall.    Don’t voluntarily jump off curbs, picnic tables or fences if you haven’t practiced jumping from thoseheights. Even if it’s only a three-foot drop, the backbone can twist, you can stiffen up, your feet can slideout upon landing—there are just too many accidents in the making.    Impact injuries can be more serious than people realize. A piece of bone can break off a vertebra,becoming a small sharp object dangerously close to the nerves coming from the spinal cord.    After the crash, whether it’s on a bike, a pair of skates, a vehicle, or in a game, take a few minutes toassess things. If there’s a sharp pain in your back, wait a few moments to see if it subsides. If not, and ifthe back pain is too strong to bear, get immediate medical assistance.    Another way to protect your spinal cord: work out. The backbone is supported by numerousligaments. If these ligaments are strong and flexible because they’ve been regularly stretched as well asstrengthened with resistance work, that will help protect the stability of the spine—and the spinal cordwithin it.
