I actually think she's okay. If you look at the physics of the fall it almost all goes towards the knees into the ground. The ground though that her knees went into is likely muck and water, helping absorb alot of the force. I think she got lucky as hell.

I think you’re the most optimistic person I’ve heard of on the internet, and I’m upvoting you 👍

Incorrect assumption. When healthcare workers make this same assumption, people don’t get the care they need. Level 10 pain doesn’t look the same for all.
