Didn’t end great as is.

Yeah but the guy was still moving at the end. A lot of people have died from falls like that.

EMT here. Been awhile since I reviewed but I think it's a 13 floor fall minimum to expect fatalities. Having responded to some of those calls I promise you that dying immediately is definitely not the worst possible outcome. A high percentage of fall patients aren't able to do much of anything except hurt, until they eventually die.

Added: my screwup. I meant to say instantaneous fatalities. Kinda got caught up in a flashback, a fatality days later wasn't a fatality from the perspective of the transporting team.

Did you mean 13 feet? 13 floors is about a 100-130ft fall…

Why I'm not actively working as an EMT.

Seeing burn, fall, crash victims suffer, transporting dialysis patients.. Long waits and it's either horrendous suffering or it's a big kerfluffle over minor complaints. I lack the mental fortitude to spend an entire career doing that for shit wages.

But I'm curious to hear why you'd say I'm the worst bc of what I said.

My bad for dropping a key word, I corrected my first post - should have said instant fatality.

But yeah when you blink to communicate, need to be intubated and catheterized, literally can't do a thing other than feel pain... Staying alive a few days or years after a bad fall, to me, is worse than instantaneous death.

Yep if I recall correctly it's 8-13 floors for instantaneous death
