Yes. The skull sits on the top vertebra of your spine, called the atlas. If there is a strong enough trauma to the head, the skull can be moved off, or dislocated, from the atlas. Unfortunately, with enough force this causes fatal damage to the spinal cord/brain. But if there is a smaller dislocation, it can be survived.
