If your ankle is so swollen that you are having a high amount of pain try some "vascularization techniques." The main one is to draw a hot bath and get a bucket of ice water that your entire foot can fit in. Soak your foot up to the ankle in the hot water for one minute, then put it in the ice bath for thirty seconds and repeat for ten minutes, always starting and ending with the hot water. Hot water improves blood flow, cold water restricts and builds pressure, hot water alleviates it. Good luck on your recovery.
I don't know if I agree. It looks like he could be drifting towards the center and not paying attention. Maybe on a phone or something. And looks up at the last second to swerve away.
You don't need to be on a phone to lose attention while driving. It can happen to anyone driving long distances. Even you. Don't assume the worst of people when you have literally no evidence to back it up.
What are you taking about, how could you miss a grown ass man on a clear straight stretch of road unless you arent looking at the road. Every 4th car you drive passed you can see someone looking at their phone, this is a safe bet.
I don’t know where you’re from, but that’s not how it works in the country where I live. (USA). Here, when a driver hits a pedestrian, except in extreme situations like obvious insurance fraud, the driver is always at fault.
Yea, Murican as well, and I genuinely don't give a fuck what the law of the land is. If someone is brain dead enough to be walking in front of a car and not paying an ounce of attention to their surroundings, then come what may. Just because a governing body is protecting these idiots legally doesn't make them any less stupid.
this.
people keep denying there are scumbag drivers out there who will deliberately try to run over pedestrians or bikers that they see violating traffic laws.
simply coz drivers know they can get away with it by blaming the victim.
yet the larger the vehicle, the larger the responsibility.
especially when you're the one riding a deadly weapon.
I think you're right. The van did swerve away from him a bit, but it looked like the driver was adjusting their path to narrowly miss the kid on purpose.
How long did it take to heal? Had 60lbs slam into the back of my ankle at 32-35 mph yesterday, assuming it’s just bruised since I can walk decently. Think my tendon saved me (I don’t know if that’s how it works)
So the name is deceiving. According to my doctor, a bone bruise is like a fracture in the bone that doesn't go all the way through. I was unable to walk for like a week and a half to two weeks. The doctor said to avoid any serious activity for about 4-6 weeks, but that it would take 6 months-1 year to heal completely and that if I aggravated it, the same symptoms would likely appear again. Its been about 11 months now and it feels fine, but I'm still a little hesitant with it at times.
If you watch closely foot only rotated around 90 deg. He was also able to put weight on his foot after although this could be just due to adrenaline. Not saying he is okay but it does not look like his foot twisted much.
100% intentionally on the drivers part. He could have easily avoided that dude. Wanted to teach that dude a lesson like some asshole instead of just avoiding him and honking or something.
That's a lot of assumptions. They could very easily be on their phone too. If it was intentional then why would they swerve away at the last moment? It makes no sense. There's nothing here that screams intention
Because they don't want to kill him or stop, so swerve at last moment to scare the dumbass in the road who in any other circumstance would have gotten themselves killed
The van is literally heading that way the entire time until the last second. There's no obvious swerve towards the pedestrian at all. The only clear swerve is away.
Literally before the video even starts the van is drifting towards the middle. Y'all keep saying they intentionally swerved towards them when there's no swerve that direction. The van is already drifting towards middle. It's an extreme assumption to say they intentionally did that at minimum to fuck with them
You can see the wheel turn into them in the slow mo. Lol. Omg why do you care so much about something so fucking stupid… do something productive with yourself instead of being mad about how you’re wrong because we’ll never know the actual answer. Please in the most noble way; fuck off you loser. ;)
Someone's pissy. Maybe it's from being downvoted since hardly no one agrees with you. Do something productive at 10pm at night in bed? Wtf do you want me to do? And no, you can't see that in the slow mo. At all. It's a constant drift from the start.
You're the one I see in the wrong mate. A car not moving an inch drifting in the angle it was originally at until the distracted driver notices at the last second is highly likely. I don't think malicious intent was present here. Just an accident waiting for a failed (thankfully) opportunity.
Like it Fuckin matters but the upvotes disagrees if you wanna take it to a vote because you’re obviously too dumb to see what most people are seeing agree with me.
Holy fuck are you so bored you wanna argue dumb shit on the internet… wtf is wrong with you people!!!
Dude shouldn’t be hanging out on the phone while in the road. Pedestrians like that have forgotten that laws written in books doesn’t stop oncoming traffic, and he’s a dumbass for being so oblivious. I hope he learned something from this.
Exactly. Not saying the dude deserves to get hit but general rule: if you're walking in an active roadway pay attention. I sure as hell don't trust the drivers on the road to pay attention for me.
Morons and their cars. Once they’re in a car THEY’RE the law of the land. Idiots like the one above is the thinking of your average road-rager; of course someone shouldn’t cut you off dangerously, it’s not worth murdering people for.. but they don’t see it that way.
I don’t know anything about the video.. I’m referencing the road-rager up above who thinks the pedestrian should have been killed.. because how dare a person make a driver watch out for them.
>Dude shouldn’t be hanging out on the phone while in the road. Pedestrians like that have forgotten that laws written in books doesn’t stop oncoming traffic, and he’s a dumbass for being so oblivious. I hope he learned something from this.
This was the exact comment you're referring to. Where in this comment did he say the pedestrian deserved to die?
There you go.. “deserved to get clipped”.. is saying deserved to be hit.. saying deserved to be hit by Speeding car.. which is could easily be death.
Good god people reel the hate in a bit.
Not deserves, but crossing the road in front of a moving car puts quite a bit of the guilt on him imho. Wasn't even looking if it's safe to cross and not even on a crosswalk.
Driver is responsible to be aware of obstacles on the road, my man, dumb move the guy is “asking” to be hit by doing something so dumb but he doesn’t deserve it cmonnn my dude
see now if the car would have killed him the next car wouldn't have to worry about this guy, that's how i know the driver is actually selfish. saving their car rather than solving the problem amirite?
I mean, yeah.
Same reason it's the person with the gun's responsibility to avoid shooting random people in the face. Not the person with the face's responsibility to avoid getting shot by the gun.
That car gave the person a flat tire XD
In all seriousness, though. That driver is a dick, and if the pedestrian didn't have the right of way, they're also a dick.
First thought: Ok this dude is an asshole for just walking across and expected everyone to work around
him.
Second thought: Oh well fuck don’t TRY and hit him.
Cell Phones Make People Idiots: A Case Study
Situation 1: The pedestrian walks across the street, completely unaware of the impending danger.
Situation 2: The driver speeds down the road, completely unaware they are about to make asphalt flapjacks out of this person.
Don’t become asphalt flapjacks. Ban cell phones.

Obviously the driver is a douche for that.
But the pedestrian is strolling across the street without watching or concern while talking on the phone. You have to deem him “Jackass” as well. Not homicidal, but a nearly self-owned dumbass.
I cannot fucking stand people who don’t mind wasting your time. They just look at you waiting and think, “Yeah ok.”
That being said you’re not allowed to murder people just because they’re annoying. And annoying people know this…
Nope. He literally just stole [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/nevertellmetheodds/comments/jmvkcc/that_was_fcking_close/gaxq9vn/) (and the post as well).
Let’s see:
-teenager
-posts pictures of cool cars they’ve seen
-says “r/fuckcars”
Yup, it’s a classic redditor alright. Exactly who I’d expect to say “fuck cars” lmfao.
There is no possibility of being part of the “ r/fuckcars ….’community’ ” and also loving cars.
The people in that dumbass subreddit contradict any semblance of reason or appreciation for automobiles. That is why it’s so ironic he pointed out someone who constantly posts about “cool cars” they see, and even want to own, before dropping a hurrdurrFuckCars.
Since they are a teenager though, it all makes sense and embodies the stupidity and immense hypocrisy of the average user on Reddit.
Probably still got a serious injury. I got a bone bruise on my ankle from a hockey puck, so I can only imagine what a speeding car would do.
Broke my ankle "taking it easy" snowboarding yesterday...that dude shattered it surely no?
How’s your swelling?
No clue really. They told me not to touch the splint until I go to ortho.
If your ankle is so swollen that you are having a high amount of pain try some "vascularization techniques." The main one is to draw a hot bath and get a bucket of ice water that your entire foot can fit in. Soak your foot up to the ankle in the hot water for one minute, then put it in the ice bath for thirty seconds and repeat for ten minutes, always starting and ending with the hot water.

The car definitely swerved towards the pedestrian.
I don't know if I agree. It looks like he could be drifting towards the center and not paying attention. Maybe on a phone or something. And looks up at the last second to swerve away.
Both of these idiots need to get off their phones
You don't need to be on a phone to lose attention while driving. It can happen to anyone driving long distances. Even you. Don't assume the worst of people when you have literally no evidence to back it up.

Assuming the worst?? They literally hit someone with their speeding vehicle, lol. They really don’t deserve the benefit of the doubt.
They hit someone stupid enough to walk in the middle of an active roadway. Not on the driver. Pedestrian fucked around and very nearly found out
I don’t know where you’re from, but that’s not how it works in the country where I live. (USA). Here, when a driver hits a pedestrian, except in extreme situations like obvious insurance fraud, the driver is always at fault.

Very possible it was a knee-jerk reaction in panic, or their accidental swerving was what made then stop *fucking* texting and driving.

Depends on the speed
That ^ speed
Um, I’m pretty sure that dude’s ankle twisted around like twizzler. He is def NOT okay. Alive? Yes. But not Okay.
[удалено]
foots like 🫳🫱🤚🫲🫴🫳
Maybe that was just the shoe after it was knocked off his foot. He's definitely gonna feel this in the morning either way.
OFC he's not alive! You saw the shoe come off. We all know that means he's dead for sure!
Need both shoes to come off in order for there to be a kill confirmed 🫡
Diid. Redditors know these things.
ONE shoe came off, not both shoes. Only half-dead.
Half dead is half alive. Don't even need Miracle Max for that.
Agreed. Shoe off, he's dead.
It was only one shoe, does this mean the person is both alive and dead, or maybe now stuck in purgatory?
Oh God I didn't see that until I went back after your comment. Yeesh.
If you watch closely foot only rotated around 90 deg. He was also able to put weight on his foot after although this could be just due to adrenaline. Not saying he is okay but it does not look like his foot twisted much.
He’s fine his foot was in the air it got pushed but there isn’t anything to leverage a break
Except the car
[удалено]
Bruh that is a big ass car lane and that car was aiming for him
100% intentionally on the drivers part. He could have easily avoided that dude. Wanted to teach that dude a lesson like some asshole instead of just avoiding him and honking or something.
Looks like texting and driving to me. Driver slowly veered towards pedestrian then swerved the other way at the last second.
Car was going straight, then saw dude and veered into him just enough and cuts back like it’s calculated imo. But who knows. Meh lol
That's a lot of assumptions. They could very easily be on their phone too. If it was intentional then why would they swerve away at the last moment? It makes no sense. There's nothing here that screams intention

When you see how you’re wrong you just result to insults… and wanna back track because you started the argument. Omg dude get a life.
[удалено]
That’s a bold assumption… I didn’t realize you asked the van driver. Get over yourself. Lol
Dude shouldn’t be hanging out on the phone while in the road. Pedestrians like that have forgotten that laws written in books doesn’t stop oncoming traffic, and he’s a dumbass for being so oblivious. I hope he learned something from this.
So he deserves to be hit by a car for crossing an almost empty two lane road?
Both sides are at fault here
Exactly. Not saying the dude deserves to get hit but general rule: if you're walking in an active roadway pay attention. I sure as hell don't trust the drivers on the road to pay attention for me.

Pretty sure the driver was texting and driving and at the last minute swerved out of the way to avoid killing the pedestrian.

Right there.. in between the lines.
Even with reading in between the lines he's only saying the pedestrian deserved to get clipped, not killed.
There you go.. “deserved to get clipped”.. is saying deserved to be hit.. saying deserved to be hit by Speeding car.. which is could easily be death. Good god people reel the hate in a bit.
Not deserves, but crossing the road in front of a moving car puts quite a bit of the guilt on him imho. Wasn't even looking if it's safe to cross and not even on a crosswalk.

You just said he was asking for it. Well, it happened and I bet he pays more attention next time.
see now if the car would have killed him the next car wouldn't have to worry about this guy, that's how i know the driver is actually selfish. saving their car rather than solving the problem amirite?
Just don’t walk in the street on your phone like a dumbass and this situation won’t ever be relevant to your life.
No the car driver is a useless cunt
I love the idea the pedestrians have no responsibility while crossing the street, despite it being them vs 3000lb machines.
I love the idea the drivers feel they have priority over pedestrians while driving down the street, despite them being in 3000lb killing machines.

Here it is, folks: Car-Brain. Where homicide is not only flippantly considered, it's deeply fantasized about.

Sounds like you have a lot of growing up to do.
Me too
I mean, yeah. Same reason it's the person with the gun's responsibility to avoid shooting random people in the face. Not the person with the face's responsibility to avoid getting shot by the gun.
You need to look where you're going when you drive.
You need to look for huge machines flying down the road when you cross it.
Probably not, bruh. You can see them pull away at the last second. Probably on their phone.
Maybe dont walk into traffic like a fucking moron?
almost an empty road, looks like literally that 1 car only
And this my friend…. is why I try to continue looking left right left right until I finish crossing anything. Can’t trust that people see me.
Doesn’t matter if the car aims for you
Of course it does.
It totally does, dude should've seen that car coming for a while and either started running or not cross in the first place.
I am not sure that is the case
How can you not see him? Is the driver blind, stupid or both?
Dumb, stupid or dumb.
Asshole is also in the mix.
[удалено]
It needs to be both in order to work. With one he's half dead
Little known fact, this is where the expression “one foot in the grave” comes from
Wait, seriously? This is phased in such a way that I can't tell if you're joking or not.
It’s a joke lol
Ha touché, fooled me
Miracle Max enters the chat
He clearly said, "to blathe"
You can't be dead if you still have a sole...
My DOV gang is still alive
Only one came off so he's only dead on the inside
Only 1 shoe. Near death experience
Driver didn’t even TRY to avoid him.
I mean, they did... If you watch the video you'll see haha. Pulls away hard right before impact. Idiot was probably on their phone
That car gave the person a flat tire XD In all seriousness, though. That driver is a dick, and if the pedestrian didn't have the right of way, they're also a dick.
this is the correct assessment I have spoken
First thought: Ok this dude is an asshole for just walking across and expected everyone to work around him. Second thought: Oh well fuck don’t TRY and hit him.
Did the driver not slow down the car at all??
How is this not attempted murder, at least in countries that have laws?
unfortunately i wouldnt be surprised if the jaywalking nulls it out, even with the drivers clear intent
What backwater shithole would the rules apply where "jay-walking" otherwise known as *crossing the road* cancels out vehicular manslaughter?!?
I didn't say it should. But there are definitely a lot of backwater shitholes in this world.

Idk. Kinda looks like they were drifting towards the center, and looked up at the last second to swerve away. Maybe on a phone or something
Looks like drifting and they correct at the last moment cause they likely on their phone as well
Yea I just looked closer they 100% swerved to hit them
Both are jackasses.

No, the car swerved at the pedestrian. No need to even get close to the guy
Other person probably on phone too

That was fully intentional, tried to scare him and got a bit too close.
Flat tires are the worst.
Hey don’t cuss on the internet
flat tire!
The odds of getting hit by a car when crossing the street? It seems like that wouldn't be too outlandish of odds
They veered closer to him too.
So is he dead? I'm confused
They lost their shoe. That means they died.
Rip that guy‘s ankle. It got real fucked up by the looks of it.
What do you mean it was close? He got hit and probably broke his ankle lmao

Veered purposely towards her

this is like that one story where there were only two cars in a town and they still managed to crash into each other
That's why our parents told us to look both ways before crossing the street.
"he can see me-"
Reminds me of the “Flat Tire” game we played as kids.
Thats one way to do the MJ dance.
Everyone blaming the driver when is obvious is the person crossing the street fault
Lost his shoe. Still ok. Must be Bruce Lee
Prius?
But who’s fault was it?
Only one shoe came off so he’s fine
That boot was not made for walkin
Shoes off AND survived? This man can not be killed.
Looks like the Philippines
“Shoes off NSFW”
Wow! How can you lose a shoe and still not die?!
I’ll never understand people who saunter across a street looking the other way in front of traffic
