If you survive from jumping high place is there a good chance you'd end up with locked-in syndrome or is it exclusively caused by oxygen deprivation?

Just TOTALLY paranoid from the locked-in syndrome thing. It is literally the only thing stopping me from CTB.

Is the locked-in syndrome exclusively caused by oxygen deprivation to the brain?

I didn't even know this was something that was documented. Great. One more thing to be horrified about.

in theory its possible but its unlikely, locked in syndrome is usually caused by damage to the pons (which is in the brainstem) while the midbrain and cerebral cortex are "fine" its usually caused by stokes, TBI that effect the brainstem specifically, and certain diseases/infections

jumping is more associated with cervical spine fractures which can cause problems with respiration and leave you paralysed, as well as broken bones + organ rupture, lis requires isolated damage to the pons, while jumping causes blunt force trauma, theoretically you could potentially get it from a jump if you landed in a way which led to a stroke, but its unlikely
