How Much Do You Think THIS Hurt ???

Man Pinned Under Tree Amputates His Leg


IOWA HILL, Calif. (AP) -- Alone in the woods with his left leg pinned beneath a fallen tree for 11 hours, a 66-year-old man used pocket knives to cut off his limb below the knee to free himself, a neighbor and authorities said.
Al Hill had been cutting trees last Friday when one fell on him. After freeing himself, he cried out for help, and a neighbor passing through this sparsely populated area heard him.
Eric Bookey then hiked nearly two miles to get a cellular signal and placed an emergency call to the town's all-volunteer fire department about 7:30 p.m., Fire Chief Luana Dowling told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Hill was eventually airlifted by helicopter to a hospital where he underwent amputation surgery, Dowling said. "He's a pretty remarkable person," Dowling said.
A hospital spokeswoman said Hill was in serious condition on Wednesday, and that he was declining interviews.

I thought of that too. And not minimize what that guy did, but he was a young guy, whereas this guy was 66. And again, not to minimize it, but a leg has to hurt worse than arm.

tell ya what he probably wasnt feeling alot of pain at that point. a tramatic injury and totally crushing his leg. your body does something to cut off the pain signals to your brain when you get seriously injured like that. but you would think he would have bled to death being elderly alot them are bleeders.
agree though he was a tough ol bird to keep fighting for his life. some ppl would just give up to the moment and slip away.
