BRAZIL Man suffered a serious injury to his right leg after a motorcycle accident. In the shin area, it literally tore off and remained hanging by the last bit of tissue. At the same time, he suffered a fracture of the tibia, which remained sticking out of the wound.
The victim remained conscious and immediately received first aid from several random witnesses. Although updates on his health condition are not available, the probability of survival is high in this case.
If you ever find yourself as a witness in a similar situation, never be reckless and provide first aid. In most countries, it is even illegal [not to]. First aid consists of immediately calling the emergency line, stopping the bleeding, and securing the accident site.
The incident is a reminder of the importance of adhering to traffic regulations and basic safety rules. The human body is more fragile than you think, or want to admit. Motorcyclists, due to the absence of crumple zones, form one of the most vulnerable groups of road users. Do not underestimate the purchase of quality equipment. A helmet alone is not enough.
