Lots of caveats here... for sure, certain folks should never attempt sarvangasana or shirshasana... good to see exactly why. I actually have a friend who was lead into an extreme cervical extension in a yoga class, and (she thinks) damaged the carotid artery (she's a nurse). She thought this because subsequent to the class she suffered a mild stroke!!
Oh goodness I'm so sorry to hear about your friend Kate . The cervical region deserves the utmost care and respect!

The welcome owls comment was the best! Especially when you called the certival vertbrae as all delicate and bird like! Love the continuing joke :)
