There is a very high chance that you can die or become paralyzed, because you need your spinal cord for much of your movements. It sends messages to the brain on what actions that you are going to do. So with it broken, you could very well get paralysis (become paralyzed) throughout your entire body. You would need immediate medical attention, and if you were to live you'd undergo surgeries to reassemble your spine. If you live, and are not paralyzed, you would still need many weeks or even months to recover and to begin walking again. A common disability formed when the spinal cord is fractured is you lose the ability to walk, because your spinal cord will not be able to complete the nervous system messages and send them to your brain stem and into your cerebrum.

Damage to the spinal cord can cause permanent paralysis. The paralysis will result in paraplegia or tetraplegia, unless the injury is an incomplete injury, which will result in one of a number of spinal cord injury syndromes. Incomplete injuries, and injuries with mild swelling of the spinal cord can have a good prognosis, with likely hood of return of function.
