To be fair, they probably don't get bad backs, ever, since that'd prevent them from fighting. We're talking about a race so obsessed with fighting that they keep their youth for a long time so they can fight better for a longer time.
Also, I doubt Beerus' knockout attack would've triggered a Zenkai. He didn't bring Goku close to death. Just knocked him out for a while.

I mean, there's still a chance, no? Broken necks, organs blasted straight through the body, savage beatings are effective, but wouldn't pressure points also?
While attempting to kill a sparring partner would be an utterly dickish thing for someone to do, considering everything else Beerus does.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!Saiyan, though.
Vegeta survived long enough to give a speech after Freeza put a ki blast through his heart, and he held his breath for several minutes while escaping from Freeza's Ship underwater.
himitsu keisatsu seifu chokuzoku kokka hoanbu na no da himitsu keisatsu yami ni magireru supai katsudou torishimariYeah, I think what people are missing is that Saiyans are kinda like Kryptonians, they're outwardly human, but wildly different biologically.
Think about it, humans get adrenaline rush, Saiyans appear to compensate with a combination of Super Saiyan and Zenkai.
Humans can last a very long time without food and eat in relatively small quantities from which they derive sufficient energy, Saiyans (without training) get exhausted without food, eat massive quantities, and seem to convert it all into energy.
Their bones and muscles are naturally denser due to their planet's gravity (though Goku's muscles were realistically atrophied from living on Earth).
And strangest of all, their tails emit hormones when seeing a full moon, forcing the body into a massive primal state.
I think we should quit defining them in human terms.
Btw, with the karate chop thing, King Kai mentioned that Goku nearly stopped breathing.

This shall be my true, Start of DarknessAgain, Saiyan. We can assume that Cell's ability to survive shit made it so that he couldn't zenkai from a non-life-threatening blow, such as getting half his body vaporized from a Final Flash he tanked.
The same amount of damage that to a human would instantly fatal or crippling or what have you, just isn't for a Saiyan. Hell, Goku broke Nappa's back, and Nappa was perfectly conscious and coherent without seeming to really care all that much, he clearly believed he would heal from it.

18: You missed the delivery...
Krillin: Aww...
18: That's okay; making the baby is the fun part!

'sigh' Once again, #17 and #18 are completely organic aside from the shut-off mechanism, all of the changes Dr. Gero made to them were bio-mechanical. This is stated in the manga when Krillin brings Bulma the blueprints to make the shut-off remote. The reason their Ki can't be sensed is because their organic Infinite Energy Generators don't run on Ki.

That was a good joke. Possibly the best joke in the movie.

I looked it up. Volume 31, Chapter 365, Page 12, Panel 2. This translation (and scan) are really bad but only in that it's overly literal.
Bulma: "He used a human base and mostly used bio-mechanical enhancements."

Holy shit. It happened.
We're off the map now people. Up is down, Cats are dogs, and everything has gone fiddle faddle foo.
Armageddon is upon us.
I think it was totally worth it myself.
