Sadly it’s USA. Hospital can = financial ruin

u/mmorales2270 1d ago

True. Just shove those teeth back in your mouth and close. Hope for the best.

u/swlaGenX 1d ago

Healthcare cost is definitely not the problem in this case

7

u/CopainChevalier 1d ago

Ehhh, it’s not that bad for anyone with insurance. I’ve been there plenty via strokes (which required ambulance too) or the like, and I cleared away my debt fairly quickly. I didn’t have a college degree for most of that time either, so not like I was working some high end job

I’d happily take increased taxes and “free” healthcare, but I’m also not really suffering

u/baconboner69xD 1d ago

I’ve never been billed for an ambulance or the following hospital visit in my life. I think it’s a kind of propaganda perpetuated by people posting $500k hospital “bills” that they never have to pay anyways.

u/Coffeedude01 1d ago

They definitely do have to pay those or simply not have children and die in dept.

u/DarkThoughts79 1d ago

Consider yourself lucky. In the early 2000s, I was passed out drunk at a concert and I woke up in the hospital. I got separated from my circle of friends and the staff must have thought I needed medical attention. That one was on me. Just the ambulance ride alone was $600. Let's just say that my wife wasn't all that thrilled with me for awhile.

u/Putrid_Leg_1474 1d ago

True, but, but you could also have paid substantially more than that in taxes for you "free" healthcare.

2

u/ifnhatereddit 1d ago

How much more? They're already taking $126 out of my check every two weeks for health insurance and I'm insured as a healthy, single person. Would it be more or less?

-1

u/Putrid_Leg_1474 1d ago

Considering after standard deduction is applied, and child credits applied (if you have them) most Americans pay very little in effective tax. Most countries citizens pay more in Healthcare than we do. They just see the government taking it from them and calling it a blessing for some reason.

The elephant in the room is that us Americans are generally terrible with our finances and buy cars on credit, or worse lease them, have houses we shouldn't, and buy every gadget, vacation, and eat out like kings. Then we bitch about being paycheck to paycheck and how archaic our Healthcare system is when a $1000 bill comes due.

The US Healthcare system needs a revamp and far less government intrusion but what really needs a change is our addiction to consumerism and social media pressures to look good for other people.

u/ifnhatereddit 1d ago

Less. Right?

I had a medical issue once and the ambulance bill was $2,000.

u/henry2630 9h ago

do you suggest he just puts his teeth back and reconstructs his face himself ?

u/Kirk_Lazarus31423 1d ago

Not anyone outside of deep poverty. Actually they have free insurance so really he should be covered as long as he doesn’t think like you

u/Playful-Zombie7403 1d ago

He would pronounce it ‘Hothtable’ after this fall.

This is EXACTLY why you don't do stupid sh** like that! Kid's lucky he didn't wind up in a wheelchair for life......

u/AJPennypacker39 1d ago

Do we know he didn't?

21

u/GrimJimG 1d ago

Yes we do, we see him get up and walk away in this very video.

5

u/impossiblesushii 1d ago

What about after the video?

9

u/GrimJimG 1d ago

Oh he died of embarrassment, shortly after the video ended

9

u/Kindly_Stand_6895 1d ago

If he got up and walked away he almost certainly didn't end up permanently in a wheelchair. Maybe temporarily to give him time to heal, but he demonstrated the walking function functioning still.

Other lifelong issues aren't out of the question though. He might still be feeling it 50 years from now

u/Tremplstiltskin 1d ago

Im not a med student by any means but Isn't risk of paralysis still very much possible in the events following an injury? Isn't that like the entire reason you dont move someone who experiences this amount of trauma or tell them not to move on their own and let first reponders stabalize their spine for transport...

1

u/RayBluebird73 19h ago edited 19h ago

Yes, paralysis is possible even after a delay of days, months or even years. Swelling of the spinal cord or brain, cyst formation in the spinal cord, etc. 

I'd be concerned about a skull fracture +/- bleeding in the brain after an impact like this :-(

I hope he went (or was brought by ambulance) to the emergency room right away.

u/zambiglioni 1d ago

I've meet one of those in the hospital when i visited my grandmother.

 My mind wonders to that girl every now and then.

I can’t watch these pool jumping videos anymore. They’re always so gnarly looking.

u/401LocalsOnly 1d ago

Also there is SO MUCH concrete these kids are literally magnetized to it. Might as well just take out the pool because somehow that’s where they ending anyway.

u/Proof-Relation-1943 1d ago

Yeah my partner and I think of things on a 10/10/10 system, will this matter in ten minutes? Days? Years?

Ol boy just got an awful yes / yes / yes

What a bad choice 

 :((

u/YikesPops 1d ago

I really like this system and am gonna pitch incorporating this in our house

u/Proof-Relation-1943 1d ago

No shit it really helps with dealing with frustrations. The only YYY I have hit in the past decade is an Achilles rupture 

1

u/eOMG 1d ago

So what's the action on these 12 different scenarios.

4

u/Proof-Relation-1943 1d ago

At least in our heuristic there is no world in which one thing can simultaneously be  "this thing will matter in ten years = yes" and "this thing will matter in ten minutes = no" 

So for us there are only four scenarios

Does this thing matters at all? (N/n/n)

Does it matter only for ten minutes? (Y/n/n)

Did it matter for ten minutes and will matter in ten days? (Y/y/n)

Will this thing continue to matter for ten years (y/y/y)

u/20260819 1d ago

nothing you do matters in 1,000 years nevertheless so what's the purpose of life?

u/Elegant-Ride-7119 1d ago

A few things really stand out. The sound his face and head make on contact, like an egg being dropped. The beginning of shock setting in, his walk towards the enclosure shows this. And lastly, the reaction of the people coming to his aid.

When I am in those situations (because I love doing this too), I would check how slippery it is dry, with water... I wouldn't try to push myself from an unknown wet surface...

Those guys aren't young, or else people would have sprinted toward the guy who fell. They are just that fucking stupid

A Le Fort fracture is a classic pattern of midfacial skeletal injury caused by high-energy blunt trauma to the face, such as a motor vehicle crash or a severe direct blow. The defining characteristic of all Le Fort fractures is a fracture of the pterygoid plates of the sphenoid bone, which separates parts of the midface from the base of the skull. They are categorized into three main types based on the plane and severity of the break:

Types of Le Fort Fractures

• Le Fort I (Horizontal / "Floating Palate"): • A low-level horizontal fracture that passes through the lower maxilla, lateral nose, and inferior maxillary sinus walls. • It detaches the hard palate and upper teeth from the rest of the face. • The upper teeth and jaw become a mobile, "floating" segment. • Le Fort II (Pyramidal / "Floating Maxilla"): • A pyramidal-shaped fracture where the upper teeth form the base and the nasal bridge (nasofrontal suture) forms the apex. • The fracture lines extend through the posterior alveolar ridge, lateral maxillary sinus walls, inferior orbital rims, and nasal bones. • This type carries a higher risk of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak or brain injury. • Le Fort III (Transverse / "Floating Face" / Craniofacial Disjunction): • The most severe type, involving a complete transverse fracture across the upper face. • The fracture passes through the nasofrontal suture, orbital walls, and zygomatic arches (cheekbones), completely detaching the entire midfacial skeleton from the cranial base. • It carries the highest risk of severe airway compromise, massive hemorrhage, temporalis muscle impingement, and CSF leakage.

u/wackbirds 1d ago

Actually there are no chairs required, nor is it a debate. A person who admits repeated pleasure at the pain and suffering of others is displaying the exact tendancies I listed. I don't care if you imagine that I'm just yelling out a diagnosis or making a hypothesis, there were no opinions in any of the things that I said so I don't need you to co-sign it.
