On July 3rd of this year, Anthony’s friend planned a fun beach day for a few friends and him to celebrate the holiday weekend. They got together, had lunch, and hung out in the sand for a while, then he and one of his buddies decided it would be nice to go for a short swim in the ocean. They ran down the beach and into the water. He saw a swell approaching and thought it was deep enough to dive in and duck under the crashing wave, but he was wrong. As soon as his head hit the sand, he felt a strange pop in his neck. Most of his body went numb, and he could not move.
