RahuliyI broke my hip bone a month ago and have to be robocop for the rest of my life... Can't imagine the pain this person felt.
People really need to stop putting weird things up their asses.
it came from within .

ScrubblesNew a guy who did that, well had his foot out the window of his truck, rolled it, shattered and crushed his leg. He sued to truck company… And won. (Or at least settled)
And then he bought trucks for his family. Yes from the same company.
tell me you’re american without telling me you’re american
Or the story about a lawsuit that only makes sense when you reframe it as a florida man headline in your mind
exactly this “florida man hit himself in the head with a hammer, sued the hammer company and won a bazillion dollars” stuff
And then he new what to do next and bought his whole family hammers from the hammer company.
Frivolous lawsuits are mostly a fake thing McDonald’s convinced the public of so they wouldn’t have to pay medical bill for someone after serving coffee that was way too hot. The reason for most big payouts for injuries is because the medical system is broken.
Sure. I am physically, morally, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually superior to everyone from anywhere else in the world.
Did he win or did they settle?
MyDarkestTimeline01That’s the real question.
Sterile_TechniqueJust dab it with some bacitracin, take some ibuprofen, and get some sleep. You’ll be fiiiiiine.
I didn’t know my GP was on Lemmy
Lol its like you were in the ER with me. After getting a $5 sling for $130 and 50¢ Tylenol for $50 they sent me home and referred me to a doctor on the far side of town who wasn’t in my network. Its almost been a month since I broke my collarbone, only abt a month of sling time left! And $617 dollars in med debt later
Hell, I bruised my hip bone once at a martial arts seminar. The next-level pain I felt from just that make me worry for when I’m dumber/older and need a replacement.
Looking at trending, it’s 50-50 I’ll be fine into my 80s or be 4-joints-bionic by 70. Nothing in-between.
Matty_rThat’ll buff out.
'Tis but a scratch
So they’ve broken their pelvis straight through about half way up, popped their right femur out of the socket, and split the left femur straight through near the top… yeah… that sucks
OfCourseNotYup, but you forgot the part when the tip of the right femur went out through their butthole...
wabafeethe right one is completely discolated too.
They didn’t break their pelvis, it’s a child. The bones in their pelvis aren’t fused yet. Not that it makes much of a difference damage wise
Better than having your kneecaps in your teeth.
Don’t fucking kick your legs up in a car what the fuck you’re in a high speed vehicle that can crash at any moment resting legs near an air bag???
joel_feilawell I rest on the door handle and my foot over the air bag so my knee will miss my teeth
this person couldved had his femur in his intestines from the looks of it.
Dozzi92Of the many broken bones I’ve had, a snapped femur is one. The damage it did means I’m never walking without a limp or running at nearly the pace I could. All it did was compound above the knee. This is permanent massive life changing damage. That bone absolutely destroys all the critical muscle groups, blood vessels, and massive nervous system that flows down to your lower half.
That’s just dislocated.
Oh jesus fucking christ that actually made me wince. Do they make full-body cups that I can wear so this absolutely never happens to me?
You could start by just listening to the advice above the image. It’s a good start.
Yeah fair suggestion 😂
Basically its the application of an airbag upon a human body positioned in a way no vehicle was ever designed to accommodate forcing the body to bend in half in ways it shouldn’t. Basically, never put your legs over the airbags while in a moving car and you’ll probably never suffer injuries like this
LogicalDrivelNot to be all prudish or anything, but this made my stomach turn seeing it. IDK if tagging it would help but at least I would have been mentally braced for it.
I felt the same way but also the shock value of the PSA might just save someone too. It’s definitely a gray area this time around, I think.

AkasazhAs horrific as this is, it feels a bit over cautious. There’s quite many horrific accident pics to be found that could be used to say ‘never in your life get into a car’.
In the many years that I’ve been driving I’ve never collided with another car. The amount of time I’ve sat in a car with my legs on the dashboard is even smaller, as it’s not particularly comfortable.That doesn’t mean accidents don’t happen, but the statistical risk of this particular incident happening is rather small.
There’s really a lot more things that are statistically more dangerous than this, that people still do on a daily basis like standing on a ladder or playing sports.
What are you talking about?
“I’ve never got into a crash, so go ahead and put your feet up on the dash if you like because people get injured from ladder falls and sports.”
First of all, and this is an issue I’m trying to impress on my 7 year old too, no one intends to have an accident, that’s why it’s called and accident. Just because you’ve never been in a car collision doesn’t mean it won’t happen.
Then, in the event that a collision does happen, you really don’t want your feet up because it will be worse. What may have been some heavy bruising to your face and chest turned into one shattered femur and one ripped right out of your hip.
That’s the lesson, and it’s not “over cautious”. It’s absolutely an appropriate level of caution.
Statistically how realistic is the scenario, though?
My point is that there’s more urgent dangers to worry about.
I still don’t understand.
It sounds like you’re saying we should not be concerned with putting our feet up on the dash because we could fall off a ladder.
Don’t put your feet up on the dashboard because an unlikely crash could shatter your hips.
Don’t step on the top of a step ladder because a less unlikely fall could break your spine.
Why are we comparing them like it’s incompatible to practice basic safety for both? Absolutely, there are many other more common dangers in the world you should guard yourself against. But not putting yourself in a position to severely worsen your injuries in the event of a car collision is one of them!
