New 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
Is it the story about trucks, or spelling “knew” as “new”?
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
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.
And then he new what to do next and bought his whole family hammers from the hammer company.
sounds familiar think i now that from watching the knews
Ha, thank you phone autocorrect. Keeping it there though.
Sure. I am physically, morally, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually superior to everyone from anywhere else in the world.
How the fuck do you win that lawsuit? I really want to hear their arguments.
Did he win or did they settle?
It’s been almost two decades, I’m pretty sure it was a settlement though.
That’s the real question.
It can literally Kill you! Even a lower speed accident. I took care of a patient who’s leg was shattered and it cut her femoral artery into a couple pieces.
DEAD! Just by hanging her bare feet outside the front passenger window across the edge of the dashboard. Air bag deployed. The END.
Yeah, one of my college roommates knew a girl that died in a similar way. Feet on dash, air bag deploy, knees pulverized brain.
That sux.
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???
this person couldved had his femur in his intestines from the looks of it.
How am I going to look cool and be comfortable though.
well I rest on the door handle and my foot over the air bag so my knee will miss my teeth
The hip bones attached to the… Oh, sorry about that…
Looks like the taint bone…
Taint nothing wrong with dat
Meanwhile I see kids doing this all the time while mom or dad looks at their phone behind the wheel. I do live in a redneck area*, though.
*the USA.
Whenever anyone does this in my car I check if I’m clear of other cars and slam on my brakes sending then under the dash.
They always get the message.
And I will keep doing it.
Right? People kinda willfully forget anywhere that isn’t a major metropolutan area has a possibility of being the redneck type of rural, and that’s not even exclusive to the USA.
God I thought I was nuts when i saw a face too
This meme is full of shit?
Those who know
Of 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.
I can’t even conceptualise what happened based on this xray, all I know is it looks fucking painful.
I assume some kind of force – airbag or emergency brake – slammed their legs into their body, dislocated the hip joint and pushed the femur sideways and into their pelvis.
Oh look. They pooped their femur!
People really need to stop putting weird things up their asses.
it came from within .
Just dab it with some bacitracin, take some ibuprofen, and get some sleep. You’ll be fiiiiiine.
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
I didn’t know my GP was on Lemmy
Bro, just put the bones in the right place, and apply AnCEF until internal medicine takes the case.
Gently apply warm water on the affected area
Best I can do is piss myself.
works for me
But gently
After that kind of injury it’s entirely possible you actually couldn’t. Any larger damage near the bladder area and you might lose the control of those muscles, thus either being unable to piss or hold it in
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
Yup, but you forgot the part when the tip of the right femur went out through their butthole…
If I recall from seeing the original article, it actually made a new butthole.
Did he buttfuck himself with his femur?
Ohhhhh jeez… I didn’t even consider that
Holy crap, I didn’t even notice the broken pelvis and left femur break, gah!
the 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
This is one of those things where my 6+ ft height is a privilege.
I have never even dreamed of putting my feet on the dash.
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 😂
