Is There Any Type of Protective Equipment?

At present, there is no protective equipment that a player can use to prevent a cervical spine injury. Helmets can protect a player from concussions but do not protect against cervical spine injury.

The best form of protection is to be aware of the danger involved and keep your HEAD UP!
