Riskbreaker So it turns out Shatner trains the marines! I want to see them doing the drop kick, the human missile and the rolling attack.
chumbucket Likely "hood of HMMV slide" in there as well.
Cena_mark Coast Guard's Three Handled Moss Covered Gradunzel is far more devastating and impressive.
Jet Bin Fever If so, that may be the only thing impressive about the Coast Guard.
Riskbreaker So, how exactly was this possible? What nerve are they hitting?
mouser It's a cervical shock caused by a sudden influx of blood in the brain. Risk of injury is quite high.
Corpus Delectable That his left hand begins to go up as he loses consciousness may be an indication that he's suffered brain trauma; It looks like the beginning of the Fencing Response. Not good news.

spikestoyiu I don't see Fencing Reponse. I believe it would have continued on the floor.
It looks to me as if he hit him in the anterior triangle of the neck, square on the carotid, which is enough to cause someone to lose consciousness.
The bigger risk here is probably hitting something on the way down to the ground.
