Re: Two Men Both Suffer Gnarly Leg Injuries After High-Speed Motorbike Crash
It boils down to the mechanism of trauma. Instead of incised cuts, apparently their legs were violently pulled and/or twisted off the body at high enough torsion that it stretched the vascular tissue to the snapping point. This causes an elastic contraction in the cell walls of the vessels resulting in constricted blood flow. It's probably what saved the one dude's life. If you've ever stretched a rubber band to it's breaking point as apposed to cutting it, you may have noticed that the broken ends shrivel in an accordion-like manner. It's basically the same physical principles applied to arteries and veins.

Re: Two Men Both Suffer Gnarly Leg Injuries After High-Speed Motorbike Crash
I like the bloody smear on the side of the bus. Poor kids though. This video reminds me of one of the very first videos I saw on this site in '10 with two Asian kids suffering very similar motorbike injuries and both fully aware of the extent of their injuries and looking down and going, "ahhhhh-ahhhhHHHHH!" and not because it feels good. Can't believe I've been on DR for 14 years. God, I feel old.

Re: Two Men Both Suffer Gnarly Leg Injuries After High-Speed Motorbike Crash
Exactly. It's hard to believe that someone may bleed out in less than a minute if their femoral artery gets nicked by a bullet, knife, or shard of glass, yet people routinely survive losing an entire limb secondary to high energy trauma. |

Re: Two Men Both Suffer Gnarly Leg Injuries After High-Speed Motorbike Crash
Absolutely. It's a cunt isn't it. They say pain is the body's warning system but if my leg is hanging off I already know something's wrong, I don't need a load of pain to fuck my day up even more.

Re: Two Men Both Suffer Gnarly Leg Injuries After High-Speed Motorbike Crash
Said they both had their legs amputated. The passenger must have died from infection? With those injuries and after having the leg removed, what would cause one to die? I’m sure their cleaning process and antibiotics aren’t the best over there.

Re: Two Men Both Suffer Gnarly Leg Injuries After High-Speed Motorbike Crash
The word "amputation" alone simply means that part of the body was removed. It does not imply the underlying cause. Both of their injuries would be considered traumatic amputations. Other than the amount of time it took to get to the hospital, I doubt that the quality of care played a significant role in his death. In all likelihood, he probably died from blood loss before he ever made it to surgery. Basic antibiotics are available just about everywhere and surgical amputations/revisions are routine in every country. It would also take days to die from infection, so it wouldn't be in the original article about the accident. |
