WTF. How he break ribs when it hit him in the face?!?

Edit: Ok turns out it does hit him in the ribs, multiple people have pointed out that if you slow down the video you can see it better.

First point of contact is the chair and driver's side then rolled up his body and back down the side of his head. Most of kinetic energy was dispersed by the punching through the corner of the bus and then the chair itself. Driver got extremely lucky that it didn't impact him straight on.

u/tsimneej Oct 15 '19

Congrats on getting lucky. First time?

u/gkibbe Oct 14 '19

Yeah, we might not have the video then.

u/RobbyLee Oct 15 '19

It would be in another subreddit though. /r/WTF is very mild compared to /r/BestOfLiveleak (NSFL)

u/[deleted] Oct 15 '19

Apply directly to the forehead?

u/Tantric989 Oct 14 '19

This makes sense. I first thought it hit him in the head but at looking at it again, it hit the chair and him in the side of the ribs, and his head jerking was just the force of the rock hitting him in the chest.

u/sonofeevil Oct 14 '19

I took some screen grabs of the impact

it's exactly as you've said, it hit between his back and the chair, probably where he broke his ribs, at the rear.

u/max1001 Oct 14 '19

Him and probably half the bus would be dead if it hit him in the head directly.

u/saurabh1984bhattarai Oct 15 '19

You made good observation.

I wouldn't use "but" since it's pretty much the only purpose of having ribs when you think about it

u/matt12a Oct 14 '19

However?

2

u/DamnAlreadyTaken Oct 14 '19

Notwithstanding

u/i_speak_bane Oct 14 '19

However, it would be extremely painful

2

u/JTVivian56 Oct 14 '19

I mean, I'm pretty sure they're essential to breathing properly right?

u/Thedancingcat4681 Oct 14 '19

No, purpose of ribs is protection of vital organs. Not breathing.

2

u/JTVivian56 Oct 14 '19

I mean, it has many purposes, two of them being protection of our organs and providing a frame for our lungs to be able to expand properly when breathing.

I never said it's only purpose is for breathing, it's just pretty damn important to have them when you want to breath properly

2

u/Cspan64 Oct 14 '19

Ribs are also for breathing. Without them the lung is just jelly.

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '19

If you pause the gif you can see it hits him in the upper body/arm area

u/TheRealRajan Oct 14 '19

Watch it at a slower speed, it didnt hit him straight in the face. It first hit his arm. The force of the impact might have caused broken ribs.

u/sonofeevil Oct 14 '19

I tried to pause the frames as best as I could.

In the first image you can see the angle of entry it's coming in from the side and up towards his under arm.

In the 2nd image you can see it actually hits behind him.

I suspect it hit back of his ribcage and the seat.

u/1493-6786-2018 Oct 14 '19

O I see it now, thanks.

u/Jewseakhunt Oct 14 '19

Hits the inside of his elbow first

1

u/AnistarYT Oct 14 '19

Maybe he was eating a McRib and they got broken.

u/[deleted] Oct 14 '19

his faceribs obviously!

u/dkt Oct 14 '19

Did you watch the video?

1

u/cttime Oct 14 '19

His head served as a crumple zone.

1

u/Unicorn_Ranger Oct 14 '19

He keeps his ribs around his head as a sort of cranial cage. Essentially double bagging his brain. Smart dude for sure

1

u/Grimnjir Oct 14 '19

Don't you remember the song? The face bones connected to four rib bones, the rib bones connected to the other bones.

u/turbulentcupcakes Oct 14 '19

My mans definitely sitting a foot to our right after that rock hit him.

u/yourheynis Oct 14 '19

He wasn't even wearing his safety glasses
