Bullshit you can break the hyoid bone with no fall at all simply from having a violent seizure after you pass out and before you actually die... There are hundreds of hanging suicide videos on the internet done in this exact same way and more than a few of them then get your hands on the coroner's report and see for yourself... Those videos will also show you just how violent the seizures can get and how hard they can cause a person to snap their neck around on whatever ligature they have around it.
