I broke my hip bone a month ago and have to be robocop for the rest of my life... Can't imagine the pain this person felt.

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
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

You're conflating the severity of the consequences to the likelihood of it happening.
The likelihood of getting in a crash is not higher if your feet are on the dash. The likelihood of your injuries being worse, way worse, is. That's the point of plenty of plenty of precautions.
Do you think seatbelts aren't necessary because they don't make you less likely to crash?
I'm not conflating it, I'm saying it's human psychology to pay more attention to the more horrible outcome, rather than to how likely a situation is to happen.

This meme is full of shit?

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.

That is just not where legs go.

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.

Oof... I shattered my pelvis into 13 pieces in a bad car accident in 2015. They thought i might not walk again, but I thank God im walking just fine. I also had major head trauma and had totally lost my short term memory at first. Its has fully come back, I think, mostly. I couldn't even hold a conversation at first.

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.

God I thought I was nuts when i saw a face too

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.
-
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.
wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

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.

Just dab it with some bacitracin, take some ibuprofen, and get some sleep. You'll be fiiiiiine.
Bro, just put the bones in the right place, and apply AnCEF until internal medicine takes the case.

I don't think prudish is the word you wanted, but squeamish.
