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???
How am I going to look cool and be comfortable though.
this person couldved had his femur in his intestines from the looks of it.
well I rest on the door handle and my foot over the air bag so my knee will miss my teeth
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.
The hip bones attached to the… Oh, sorry about that…
Looks like the taint bone…
Taint nothing wrong with dat
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.
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
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.
God I thought I was nuts when i saw a face too
This meme is full of shit?
Those who know
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

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

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.
Hell, I bruised my hip bone once at a martial arts seminar. The next-level pain I felt from just that make me worry for when I’m dumber/older and need a replacement.
Looking at trending, it’s 50-50 I’ll be fine into my 80s or be 4-joints-bionic by 70. Nothing in-between.
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 😂
Basically its the application of an airbag upon a human body positioned in a way no vehicle was ever designed to accommodate forcing the body to bend in half in ways it shouldn’t. Basically, never put your legs over the airbags while in a moving car and you’ll probably never suffer injuries like this
Not to be all prudish or anything, but this made my stomach turn seeing it. IDK if tagging it would help but at least I would have been mentally braced for it.
I don’t think prudish is the word you wanted, but squeamish.
I felt the same way but also the shock value of the PSA might just save someone too. It’s definitely a gray area this time around, I think.
I’m glad it’s just the xray at least.
No fixing stupid. Seeing this every now and then.
