I think she's just squinting due to the sun being in her face.

I'm sorry she felt this was the only way.

[Shakey]

Had to hurt for a split second.

Why are both hands bloody, when they appear to have been positioned underneath her body?

Nope. There's no heat. Only friction is in the axle journal bearings and those are just warm to the touch.
