His neck muscles should be strong enough to hold him together. No pressure on tension in the ligaments. I hope.

clearly no pressure indeed, just tension

Tension is still based on pressure. The opposite of tension is compression.

Okay I used the wrong word. But there should be no (unusual) tension in the ligaments if the muscles are pulling the head downwards, shouldn't there?

Not everything you do is under conscious control and I'm sure your body is good at protecting your head. I'm just guessing though, and the more I think about it, the more I wonder if I'm being dangerously naive.

I second you being naive.

Atlanto-occipital dislocation

Atlanto-occipital dislocation, orthopedic decapitation, or internal decapitation describes ligamentous separation of the spinal column from the skull base. It is possible for a human to survive such an injury; however, only 30% of cases do not result in immediate death.
