You can certainly die from a leak in your spinal fluid. This fluid supports all function between your spine and your brain.

How people become paralyzed?
Usually due to a traumatic spinal injury. Spinal injuries can damage the spinal cord (the bit that is usually protected by being encased in the vertebrae of the spine), which means that nerve impulses become unable to flow. This can result in loss of sensation, and paralysis. However muscle wasting diseases can also cause paralysis (but not usually loss of sensation).
What is a traumatic injury to the neck and spinal cord can result in?
A spinal cord injury can result in a loss of sensation and/or loss of function below the area of spinal cord injury. The degree to which the body is affected, will depend how high up the spinal cord the injury occurs. If the injury is in the neck, cervical region, then the arms will also be affected, resulting in Quadriplegia. More information on the different types of spinal cord injury can be found here: http://www.apparelyzed.com/paralysis.html

What are the risks of Spinal decompression therapy?
All treatments have associated risks, at includes spinal decompression therapy. Increased pain, exacerbation or worsening of your condition is possible, but very small if you are screened well before receiving the treatment. Spinal fusion surgeries are an absolute contraindication as well as severe osteoperosis. Obviously if you have a spinal fracture, this is not appropriate. We routinely treat severely painful spinal conditions with spinal decompression therapy. You can visit our website to learn more about modern spinal decompression therapy and the other complementary treatments available.

Yes it does. Loss of interstitial fluid is the same thing as dehydration. And that loss of fluid makes the skin less elastic, when you pinch it, it does not spring back as quickly.
