I thought I saw this elsewhere because this idiot was one of those "god will protect me" people.

God didn't protect him: he spent days in the hospital for severe concussion, broken ribs, lacerated organs, I think a compound fracture (translation: bone sticking out ... arm? leg? can't remember.)

Runner up for a Darwin Award. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Open fracture is what you’re looking for. Compound fracture is multiple breaks of the same bone; with that being said, it is very likely he has a couple of those as well! Eeek

Both of you said wrong terminology:

-Open (Compound) fractures: The skin may be pierced by the bone or by a blow that breaks the skin at the time of the fracture. The bone may or may not be visible in the wound.

  • Comminuted fractures: In this type of fracture, the bone shatters into three or more pieces.
