yes. i am double jointed in my knees. the most common place to be double jointed is your fingers

Double jointed is a condition where one's joints are capable of moving in a wider range of motion than people who are not double jointed. The medical term is hypermobility. The adjective is hypermobile. How much one is hypermobile is determined by measurements of the Beignton Scale. Named for a physician who took the time measure such things. Two examples are how well one can touch their thumb to their arm just below their wrist. Second one is from a standing position placing one's hands palms flat on the floor, without bending knees. The cause depends on what is causing the condition. Some genetic causes include Marfan syndrome, Morquio syndrome ( a type of dwarfism) and Ehler Danlos hypermobility type.

Is it possible to have a double jointed spine?

I think so, I can bend over backwards and put my head in between my legs. I've been telling lots of people that my spine is double jointed, double jointed doesn't mean that you have two joints, it is usually just over elasticity in your joints. It can also be that your joint socket is smaller than it should be, so you are able to slide it in and out of the socket. So I would say, Yes it is possible.
