I once had the missfortune to see a guy fall of some scaffolding...about twenty feet..however, he landed on his feet..well, one of them, the other one went down a hole, so he was stopped by one leg, which was straight...
He was quite upset by the pain, but rolled onto his side bent his legs etc, then pulled himself up on a scaffold pole...ith people round him...
a he was standing there...he said, im allright, my belly hurts tho and my leg feels funny...
His right foot was 6 inches above the floor...his upper leg bone had shattered at the hip, and gone up and out through his belly...it wasnt until someone pointed out "WHy cant you put that foot down?" that he noticed...this all happened pretty quick...he was wearing a heavy jacket as well, so you ouldnt see the blood and bone sticking out of his belly until we all went to look (as did I but have regreted doing it ever since).....very nasty, he was pretty fu8ked up for quite a while..
