i remember this show, my cousin was going to be on this show because he was in a bad accident.

[allgood2000]

Did they not end up using his story?

You can do CPR on a patient with broken ribs. You have to if you want the person to have a chance of living through the trauma.

Broken bones are secondary to cardiac arrest which, in medical terms, means patients are more likely to die of cardiac arrest than broken bones.

I told everybody people in the family watch these segments, but did anyone believe me? No-o-o.

I'm a paramedic. Even when a person DOES have blame in a situation, we're not allowed to mention it. But there's no blame to be dispersed in the case of this scene.

Telling people what they COULD have done after an accident has already occurred doesn't help anyone.

If you want to do that so bad, become a First Aid Instructor and tell them BEFORE it happens.

i pray this dont happen to my father, cause he's a mechanic and works under cars and trucks too.

[mrsnowman102]

lol the guy said they got jeff out at 4 mins and then he said the first person arrived at less than 4 mins

[mrsnowman102]

@whatever1210 what happend?

[Shtoops27]

Yea the guy only jacked the car up 2 inches while bending a hole through the steel undercarriage of that nice trans am.

[wakeoforion999]

@Kleman09 what would have killed him isnt the internal bleeding, but crush syndrome. without advanced life support, he would have had massive organ failure due to potassium and lactic acid buildups. even EMTs cant do anything for that.

the man in this video who had the car roll on top of him is younger than my mom and dad

[Zdrummer45]

Kinda obvious you cant lift that car up, prob weighs over 3,500 pounds

there's nothing wrong with getting married young i got married when i was 14 i've been married 13 years now to the same man

[KimOfDrac]

Why didn't he fix the car properly? Don't you have the little things that tightens around the tires in America?
