No, the hip joint is still there. If you look at the video again, as he's laying there, he moves his left stump a few times... and when they pick his legs up, it looks like the train caught him mid way up the thigh.

I take that back, the wheels caught him higher than I thought.

I have a feeling this guy lived.. if he didn't die from being moved so improperly. Or infection...

At least he had his...son (he kept on crying out Papa) by his side. Very sad and traumatic.

Your body has the ability to recover from traumatic injury buying you time to take further measures.

The relaxed position of arteries is closed. That is to say, if there is a lack of blood pressure to an artery it will collapse. This is both a function of the musculature around the artery, as well as the arterial cells themselves.

When an artery is severed - as in this video - the musculature contracts pulling the opened end of the artery inside itself. Secondarily, the artery also collapses, thus almost sealing the opening.

The seepage from the remaining unsealed portions can easily be blocked by coagulation of blood.

Keep in mind that for all of this to occur, the major musculature has to remain intact. Many times the open end of the artery is too far outside of the musculature to be retracted, and constricted adequately enough to stop blood flow. Other arteries just don't have a lot of supporting musculature (i.e. the neck, the chest cavity, and the upper abdominal cavity).

Hope this helps you understand how these victims survive their own stupidity.

most informative post i have ever seen on this web site. well done.

I am a physician. This completely defies medical logic at first appearance. However, suffice it to say, the arteries are composed of smooth muscle which can constrict to stop excessive bleeding. A complete transection such as this poor fellow has, has a much better prognosis than a cut running up and down the artery. Now, do not get me wrong. I am betting this man died but you can never say anything with absolution in medicine. I have seen people die from nothing and live through everything...
