A Bit Bizarre...

I was reading a news article about a local snowmobile accident. I didn't see that ending to the story coming! I don't want to spoil it for anyone...   WTF....

Whhaaaaaat....

how do you not bleed to death?

his life will never be the same.  Losing an elbow complicates life that much more than the hand by itself.  
 

Thanks for sharing.

He was in shock. He hadn't made it to the bar yet he was on his way there. He's really lucky to be alive. Super nice guy.

So no alcohol involved then ?

I used to work in a orthopedic/trauma unit. There is a shock reflex ( I forget the name, but it functions similarly to the mammalian reflex if I recall correctly) that with sudden massive trauma such as this guy had, gives a contraction to the arteries resulting in somewhat controlled blood loss. Also the cold can restrict it. LUcky, no matter what. Invariably in both motorcycle and snowmobile crashes, the rider always told me "ya know, it was the one time I wasn't drinking"...well duh, we had the toxicology reports on paper and knew better.

I don't know if he had some beer before the accident, but I know he wasn't drunk.
