This stupid ass, so ******* worried about scratching his BMW on a ******* barber shop pole, he would rather get hit by a train. Thank god that man was there to save his dumb ass.
**anonymousmkiii used "*roll picture*"** **anonymousmkiii rolled image**Right, lets overanalyze everything. LOOK at the way he is posed under the car. He is on his back, with his whole chest bearing the weight of the car minus whatever the front suspension and wheels are taking off, meaning either
A. The victim was being crushed by his lungs, so could not breathe ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positional_asphyxia )
B. The victim could probably breathe, force was being distributed over a large area, meaning low crush probability
This makes sense. The vehicle, admittedly, isn't a truck, so it doesn't have much ground clearance, but it does have some, and shocks as well that are loaded, so the more force his body lifts, the less the shocks have, and they in turn rise. He probably had weight on him, but not a crushing amount
Also note the fact that theres a HUGE ******* FIRE within 3 feet of the person, and right next to their foot! And judging by the fumes coming off, and the chemical cocktail probably coming off the engine as the lines that move oil, engine coolant, windshield wiper fluid, gasoline, and other various fluids all catch fire, its going to create a chemical cocktail, including some gases which won't rise and will further damage the victim's lungs. Worse yet, the fire will spread with time, meaning burns, and meaning dead muscle tissue and infections, maybe worse.
So here's the deal
A. You pull the person out and risk injuries from crush damage. It probably hasn't been very long, and the mass is distributed, so, unlikely he'll have crush syndrome. Even if he does, you've made first responders work easier by preventing burns and an infection from them. They monitor and treat the patient for crush syndrome, he's in ICU for a few days. Chances of him being in the morgue, low, or he walks out on both legs.
B, part 1: Leave him there. Paramedics will probably respond within a few minutes, and try to do the same thing with 2 to 3 people and gear, except now, he's got severe burns on his left leg, 3rd degree, considering we are dealing with oil and gasoline, and smoke inhilation from the chemical cocktail of fluids that have boiled off from the engine. So now he has difficulty breathing, and dead flesh, meaning infection risks. And while crush syndrome is predictable, and the hospital can immediately attempt to treat the patient to prevent issues, they can't pre-treat for pneumonia, and complications arise. He's probably dead jim, and if not, is traumatized by a long hospital stay in which he lost his leg and nearly died multiple times.
B, Part 2: You were right! he has crush syndrome! but the first responders remove him, because his leg is severely burned, They attempt to treat his crush syndrome AND burnt leg, which means amputation or prolonged hospital stay. Mortality percent varies, see infection, B Part 1.
B, Part 3: The car crushed his lungs, and he basically choked to death under a car, while you watched. Theres a distinct burning flesh smell as the first responders remove the body. nice job, mate!
Oh, and while we're here, you're souce also says
Due to the risk of crush syndrome, current recommendation to lay first-aiders (in the UK) is to not release victims of crush injury who have been trapped for more than 15 minutes
The Australian Resuscitation Council recommended in March 2001 that first-aiders in Australia, where safe to do so, release the crushing pressure as soon as possible, avoid using a tourniquet and continually monitor the vital signs of the patient
Your source also puts an emphasis on time, with many reactions to crushing damage, like first responders using sodium bicarbonate, the only field treatment, taking place after long periods crushed (15 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours), which, if the whole ******* car isn't on fire, hasn't happened yet.
TL; DR, crushing syndrome ain't got **** on smoke inhilation, 3rd degree burns, and infections, all on top of the same goddamn crushing syndrome.
Here take this. You can use this next time instead of writing all of that out.
Also I can't believe the jackass actually deleted his comments after you wrote all that. That's just a dick thing to do. Yeah, I'm looking at you FlameBreaker .
Priorities dude. Hes pretty dead if he stays under the car, and crush injuries take a while for enough cells to die for release syndrome to become an issue.
This exact thing happened to my brother like 8 years ago. A bunch of people rushed out to help but nothing like what they did in the video. Most of them just screamed and waved their arms, watching my brother pull himself up with a bit of my help. I was 10 so it wasn't much help Luckily the conductor noticed right as the train started to move and shut everything down. He was able to get his leg out, in the end, with only bruises and a few cuts from when the train started moving. In all the rowdiness he had dropped his Dr.Pepper on the tracks and was now embarrassed, hurt and thirsty. but I didn't give him mine cause **** him it's my Dr.Pepper
I have no idea why I'm sharing this but seeing something similar in the video made me remember it.
that incident happened here in Perth WA, our trains are required to get to the city as taking a bus would get you there in about 2 years, the incident happened during peak traffic so there was lots of people around to help.
really wish Perth's stations would add some barriers like some other around the world, like Singapore for example, such a simple thing to add barriers to stop people from getting to that gap... but of course the barriers would be tagged with disgusting scratch graffiti as soon as the barriers are erected cause Perth's youth are a bunch of ungrateful entitled ********
I recall hearing about this a couple weeks ago, he was choking on his tongue due to swelling from the hit, and the other player essentially forced his airway open by putting is fingers down his throat and moving his tongue out of the way before the medical team got there.
Humans are capable of overwhelming cruelty, and inexplicable kindness, equally. While popular media may show the worst sides of humanity to fit their narratives, it's videos like this that show the opposite end of that spectrum. Extraordinary people going beyond what most are willing to do in order to help another person or being, simply because they are in a position to do so and because nobody else will. Remember this when you see a news story about someone doing something depraved and wrong... There are always people out there willing to help you in your time of need, but what would you do in their time of need? Would you be the person causing them harm, the people standing idly-by watching the event unfold, or will you be the person to step up and show the world that we're not all ****** beings?
Humans are the most interesting thing on Earth to me.
When normal people do incredible things, it shows what we're capable of despite being imperfect. Humans are capable of spectacular things in spite of, and sometimes because of, our flaws.
