His doctor needs to review his anatomy books...there are no major muscles that can be developed enough to protect the larynx and trachea from this type of injury...just look up on Google the anatomy of the anterior neck...no way, no how. I buy most of the rest of the story but not that....i enjoy journalistic sensationalism!!
