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.
