And the response is "And yes the lesson here is WEAR LEATHER or PLASTIC ARMOR boots that go above the ankle.." **** me! How about; DON'T DO STUPID FUCKING STUNTS! I am glad that something finally happened though 'coz I was sick of watching the endless boring wheelies...
No, no, the lesson is: DON'T FALL OFF WHILE DOING STUPID FUCKING STUNTS! ESPECIALLY NOT ON VIDEO! I can't see how a "LEATHER or PLASTIC ARMOR boot" is going to save you from a compound fracture that nasty anyway. Maybe reduce it a bit by keeping all this bits more pointing in the right general direction and thus easier for medical personnel to identify ... but you're not going to walk away from it just because you were wearing a pair of shiny brand-name boots. -----sharks
To be fair, though, the sticky-outy bloodied bit poking through the tear in the sock looks too rounded to be cleanly identifiable a break. I'd suggest that's the head of his tibia and that his foot's hanging down like that because he's subjected himself to the mother of all ligament tears... I'd also venture that a decent race boot would've reduced the gore rating on that injury from a clear 8 (equivalent to the opening sequence of "Saving Private Ryan") to about a 3 (mass barfight in a Burt Reynolds redneck movie). Where's Manning when you need him?
