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

[–] MotoAsh@piefed.social 36 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Is it the story about trucks, or spelling "knew" as "new"?

[–] noli@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Or the story about a lawsuit that only makes sense when you reframe it as a florida man headline in your mind

[–] mybuttnolie@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

exactly this "florida man hit himself in the head with a hammer, sued the hammer company and won a bazillion dollars" stuff

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And then he new what to do next and bought his whole family hammers from the hammer company.

Ha, thank you phone autocorrect. Keeping it there though.

[–] buttnugget@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Sure. I am physically, morally, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually superior to everyone from anywhere else in the world.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How the fuck do you win that lawsuit? I really want to hear their arguments.

[–] Inaminate_Carbon_Rod@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Did he win or did they settle?

It's been almost two decades, I'm pretty sure it was a settlement though.

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????

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.

[–] bss03 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, one of my college roommates knew a girl that died in a similar way. Feet on dash, air bag deploy, knees pulverized brain.

The hip bones attached to the..... Oh, sorry about that....

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Looks like the taint bone...

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Taint nothing wrong with dat

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] hello_cruel_world@lemmy.world 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh look. They pooped their femur!

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Just dab it with some bacitracin, take some ibuprofen, and get some sleep. You'll be fiiiiiine.

I can't even conceptualise what happened based on this xray, all I know is it looks fucking painful.

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

[–] OfCourseNot@fedia.io 11 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Yup, but you forgot the part when the tip of the right femur went out through their butthole...

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

If I recall from seeing the original article, it actually made a new butthole.

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.

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] hotdogcharmer@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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?

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

You could start by just listening to the advice above the image. It's a good start.

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.

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

No fixing stupid. Seeing this every now and then.

If this is someone born male, they hip checked themselves in the nuts. Ow ow ow!

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

White indicates density and that white bit above the ball of their femur is let's say plausibly a whangdoodle.

[–] nagaram@startrek.website 5 points 1 week ago

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.

[–] knight_alva@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

If you look at their sacrum you can see their soul crying (it kinda looks like a face in agony)
