The first time I saw it was a friend that posted in on Facebook. I did one of those “I don’t see what the big de-OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD WHY WOULD ANYONE POST THAT” reactions.
I’m a little extra sensitive to this, I think, because I broke my femur in a freaky high-school wrestling accident (tried to back-trip a dude, foot caught in the mat, 270+ pound future D1 offensive lineman fell with full force onto my locked-out and stuck knee). I can barely watch videos of people suffering bad lower body injuries. I remember watching the Louisville basketball game a couple years ago when a guy suffered a compound fracture - I was in the kitchen getting a drink and just heard the reaction - and purposely stayed in the kitchen, away from the screen, until the guy was off the court and the game restarted. I didn’t even want to see the video.
Because we learned decades ago that isometric strength tends to be joint angle specific.
Speaking of things you can’t unsee. A relative of a witness/victim of a crime received a video of Mexican cartel members cutting out a guy’s heart while he was still awake/alive. The guys were laughing and even slapped his face like they wanted him to remain alert while they fileted him. Fuck. My. Brain.
My Brothers and I watched sid vicious (the wrestler) shatter his lower leg jumping off a turnbuckle at Scott Steiner… the internet was still pretty new and we rewatched that clip (and winced and grimaced every time!) I’ve and over.
