What is the worst injury you've witnessed personally? I guess if it happened to you, it counts...

I have 2.

One was a motorcycle accident about 10 yrs ago that happened about 40-50 feet in front of me. Dude flipped forward over the hood of the car, rolled in a somersault and then hit his face on the pavement. Good thing he had on a full helmet.

The other was during a flag football game, I actually heard and saw a guy's hamstring snap. There was a loud pop and all the muscle bunched up and made it look like an extra buttcheek or something on his right leg. I'm not sure I've ever heard a grown man scream out in pain like that. Was pretty crazy.

You?

no pics to witness

6/26/2008 12:05:04 AM

I saw that guy that jumped off Cox a few years back layin on the ground heaving before he died

his head was busted up

6/26/2008 12:05:38 AM

who was the guy ?

6/26/2008 12:06:46 AM

Well besides the 6 people killed in front of me after the State-Uva game in '03...

In high school a kid lost an edge on my hockey team and went right into another kid who was turned the other way in the corner and he snapped his femur. Bone was sticking out the wrong direction... it almost made me puke...

and my post probably inspired this thread...

Yeah, this was inspired by NyM's post. Thanks for calling me out.

6/26/2008 12:10:44 AM

[Edited on June 26, 2008 at 12:11 AM. Reason : ,]

6/26/2008 12:11:10 AM

you bitches ain't got nothing

i've probably seen a hundred or so people die

6/26/2008 12:11:20 AM

Ok.. other than witnessing deaths.

^^^please elaborate

and you had to have actually seen it happen.. not just showed up afterwards.

carmichael gym, basketball. guy coming down from a rebound landed on someone elses foot, leg snapped when his full weight came down. heard two pops, the bone when it snapped, then him when he hit the floor.


death is not an injury THIS IS NOT A COMPETITION, JUST PROVIDE EXAMPLES, E-COCK WAIVERS

You were an EMS, that is to be expected.

I was on my way to a bar after a State football game, when we stopped because there was a tiny accident and people were helping move it to the side... and then BAM... but I'm sure most State students know all about that accident.

^ I gave my example, lady... it was similar to yours. broken femurs are no joke.

6/26/2008 12:13:37 AM

were an ems when you saw them die... or maybe you're currently posting on TWW when someone is dying?

6/26/2008 12:14:58 AM

yeah now i remember taht accident, i cant believe you were there.
that was right beside the state surplus right?

6/26/2008 12:15:09 AM

yes... my roommate at the time who posts on here (ncstatetke) was quoted in a few newspapers and had to go to court to testify (I think he ended up going at least)

6/26/2008 12:16:02 AM

the guy i saw hadnt died yet, i honestly didnt think he was gonna die

so i was within the rules

man vs car on highway.........man didnt win, wasnt pretty

man vs shotgun.........man didnt win, wasnt pretty

womans neck vs knife.........woman didnt win, wasnt pretty

6/26/2008 12:16:55 AM

First time was suicide, dude jumped off a ~60 foot building...just kind of a thud, not the gore you'd expect

second time was gunshot, some guy tried to run off with cocaine so my friends brother ran out into the alley and shot him

they were both within a few months of each other when I was 17 or so

[Edited on June 26, 2008 at 12:20 AM. Reason : forgot a third one but she was almost already dead when we got there, we just saw her bleed out]

6/26/2008 12:19:04 AM

6/26/2008 12:21:43 AM

the vast majority of those were really, really old people with CHF and a host of other problems

both of these groups are almost impossible to resuscitate.

^thx2u we appreciate you guys as well

he might see my gold chain and suffocate me

6/26/2008 12:23:31 AM

i have never had to do CPR and i hope i never do

6/26/2008 12:25:02 AM

This thread made me realize, that I haven't seen any bad injuries happen in person. At least that I can remember.

Ah, I remember when one of my frat bros jumped off the pod in the backyard and everyone heard his leg snap.

6/26/2008 12:25:26 AM

^^it's really not all that bad - that's what we use rookie EMTs for

induced hypothermia is where it's at.

6/26/2008 12:25:36 AM

id trust evan

almost let him put an iv in me at cookout once, but instead we messed with some weird spongebob shit

6/26/2008 12:25:36 AM

I heard this from a responding fireman in greensboro...

Motorcyclist was traveling WAAAY too fast down Friendly Ave. headed out of town. For those of you not familiar with the area, there is a quirky turn right at the top of a hill near Aycock street. Cresting the hill you immediately make a fairly sharp turn to your right to continue on Friendly as it crosses over Aycock (Friendly on a bridge, Aycock below). Speed limit is 35. The policeman on the scene clocked the guy in the triple digits...

As the fella' crested the hill at triple-digit speed his bike became airborne, flying himself approximately 3 stories over the guard rail and into Aycock traffic where he got acquainted with the pavement. Firemen said 90% of it was pick up some body parts and spray off the rest with the hoses. Nothing but a greasy smear....

You actually saw someone get shot with a shotgun? Dayuum

6/26/2008 12:36:05 AM

Oh hell... I forgot about Saturday before last. Playing ball, this guy goes up to block a shot and gets bridged. He comes down hard on the floor. He gets up and a bone is sticking out of the palm of his hand. He was pretty hardcore too. Just walked out after dapping everyone up and just looked kind of annoyed.

no got there quickly after it happened, still was nasty as hell

6/26/2008 12:57:08 AM

A scambling quarterback in high school got tied up by someone and was hopping around on one foot looking for someone to throw to when I got a free shot and heard a rib break.

6/26/2008 1:01:03 AM

i saw a guy get electrocuted by a power line - it split his arm like a hot dog in the microwave.

6/26/2008 1:53:32 AM

Holy shit, for real? Damn now that would be some crazy shit to see.

Did it smell like hotdog too?
