Not picking on you in particular, just relating the real-world consequences of the wreck.

All three leg bones broken, spiral above the knee, double compound above the ankle. Gets to the hospital and it’s touch and go if they can save the leg. To keep the swelling from cutting off the ciculation, they make an incision from hip to ankle down the outside of his leg.

In a few days they’ve done everything they can and he’s bedridden at home. His wife stood by him through it all, they had three high school age kids who were all in shock. Wife works so he was alone all day laying on pee pads so he won’t foul the bed. Six months before he could go back to work. Fortunately they .had his wife’s paycheck and his boss is a biker, so he kept his job open. Else they woulda been screwed

Most folks don’t think beyond the wreck, including me before this.
