Twitter Post From Catch Wrestling U on Hazards of Full Nelson
Interesting summary of history behind full nelson being banned under some rule sets.

Two interesting notes on the technical issue:
2a) it was specifically the Full Nelson pin that was the danger. Come this way it's like a crucifix neck crank / full stocks, plus the opponent's body weight working against them with gravity, plus your own force and weight.
2b) The full nelson just as a submission is nowhere near as dangerous and like any other submission with care can be used in competition without the opponent being compromised.

Thanks for sharing.
