Your head sits on the atlas and axis where your head and neck meet, I watched a show there a boy was in an accident and the Dr. said that he was decapitated fron the inside which means basicaly his head was off its axis and the only thing that was keeping his head on was the skin and muscle around the neck. Your head in not severed from the body. There is a medical term for this.

An "Internal Decapitation" means that the muscles joining the skull to the spine have severed leaving a person "internally decapitated". There is no break in the skin to make the injury apparent. This injury is similar to that suffered by the late actor Christopher Reeve and very few people actually survive this type of injury. Of the people known to have suffered internal decapitation, more than 90 percent die on the scene from respiratory arrest. For those that make it to the hospital for treatment they are left with very significant disabilities.
