When does a fireman decide that cutting through legs is a better idea than cutting up a car?

[Sunboost]

Actually Mornington leader says he has his legs but they are fukked.

[TUFED6]

BS. Fireman wouldnt have cut his legs. He fucks that up and pierce the femoral artery the guy will bleed out in a minute

Depends on how this happened, could've been trying to be a fully sick drift king, could've swerved to avoid a pedestrian.

A friend of mine was involved in a similar accident, lost control of his car (at the speed limit) trying to avoid a truck parked across half his lane in the middle of a corner - http://www.geelongadvertiser.com.au/art ... _news.html

He was in hospital for a while, but no lasting effects.

Fark

its sad when you see ppl saying bad things about stuff like this just because he was "hooning"
dont make out you have never been a hoon or done somthing illegal on the street befor.

*no shots at anyone*

[Phillis]

fucking shit ****. id gladly live with no legs, if it meant i could live after that.

[holmsy]

hell if he had to loose his legs he would have been lucky.
im amazed the guy is alive at all. pole is where he was sitting.

I think sometimes in situations like this the passenger can seem fine or just a bit messed up from the outside but internally their really hammered and often dying which is when those kinds of decisions and assessments are made to save a life, usually its the last resort tho, still never nice to hear about but.
by the way ford should take a ticket for that if anyone let alone the driver can survive! looks a bit worse with the roof cut off but my god hes one lucky bugger!

Even the fact those artery are there, Fireman wouldn't cut a human full stop, Jaws of life/Cutting tools are only used if it is going to cause no harm to the occupant of the car. (In Victoria at least)

If he was amputated it would of been done by a Doctor/Mica Paramedic on the scene.

He had to be going fairly quick to get the old Falcooon to bend like that, least its another B-series off the road.

your right paramedics and some fancy name for a surgeon were on standby, i know the MFB have some extent of advanced first aid as theyre sometimes the first on the scene to crashes and often get to jab junkies in the heart with a shot of adrenalin to get em going again, but yeah definatly wouldnt be pulling out the knives

[Frost]

Advanced Life support training: Allows you to shove tubes down throats, moving with suspected head/neck injurys, jabbin some adrenalin for O/Ds, Bee Stings. But taking the Jaws of life to someones leg lol, thats the the Media for ya

[wolf]

i would love to see the mess any hydraulic cutter made to amputate a leg.

[SnyperEB]

He must of been flying!!

[LOW_XR]

looks like the guys car who i bought my leather off. think he got no spoiler tho....

[Green_Reaper]

I don't personally know the guy but know of him and the car, ~700hp, powerglide etc. and just had it tuned the week before. And he was already in a wheelchair before the accident so was using hand controls. Apparently this is the 3rd XR turbo he's written off.

Quote from Ambulance spokeswoman Lauren Nowak...

"She said it was possible the man had suffered serious internal injuries in the crash."

Luckly shes only a spokeswoman and not a real ambo!

Read it again guys,they didnt amputate.

[psychotic-angel]

wow that was a nice looking ford

[bentls]

yeh i heard had like 530 or so rwkw and hand controls too... guy was already leg crippled and he hit the pole like 1.5m in the air not at the base... apparently 200+ kph when it happened...

[Hybrid34]

Poor guy but kinda serves him right...doing that sorta speed on the streets is asking for trouble, yes a nice big burnout or "dump second" power slide at low kms isn't going to bend your car in half..
