I understand your point but considering the weights involved, it might be pointless to wear protective footwear. "[witness] His car got pancaked by a dump truck." "[cop] Was he wearing his seatbelt?"
@@veoteveo1 With all due respect, safety measures are required to be able to mitigate a significant degree of injury. If not they either 1) contribute to an enhanced probability of accident, 2) reduce efficiency or 3) are a waste of money. In this case your suggested safety measure of heavy footwear to prevent a 2000 lbs block from crushing a foot does not meet that bar. Glad to hear any logic / data that contradicts this.
@@jerrykinnin7941 LOL, assuming you can get a boot out from under that block of stone, first aid protocol is to apply a tourniquet above the crush, and attempt to free the foot. If the boot and foot are stuck under the block and keeping the person in place is life threatening due to either bleed out or additional peril, there may be no option but to get an axe and free the foot. What is under the stone is sure to be pulped and would have to be amputated anyway.
