chevysoldier Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 People don't pull out of broken pelvis? Found this though.The pelvis is a ring-like structure of bones at the lower end of the trunk. The two sides of the pelvis are actually three bones (ilium, ischium, and pubis) that grow together as people age. Strong connective tissues (ligaments) join the pelvis to the large triangular bone (sacrum) at the base of the spine. This creates a bowl-like cavity below the rib cage. On each side, there is a hollow cup (acetabulum) that serves as the socket for the hip joint.Many digestive and reproductive organs are located within the pelvic ring. Large nerves and blood vessels that go to the legs pass through it. The pelvis serves as an attachment point for muscles that reach down into the legs and up into the trunk of the body. With all of these vital structures running through the pelvis, a pelvic fracture can be associated with substantial bleeding, nerve injury, and internal organ damage...Stable pelvic fractures heal well. Pelvic fractures sustained during a high-energy incident, such as an automobile accident, may have significant complications, including severe bleeding, internal organ damage, and infection. However, these are due more to the associated injuries than to the fracture.If these injuries are addressed, the fracture usually heals well. People may walk with a limp for several months because of damage to the muscles around the pelvis. Thse muscles take a long time to become strong again. Subsequent problems, such as pain, impaired mobility, and sexual dysfunction, are usually the result of damage to nerves and organs that is associated with the pelvic fracture.

nukcrash69 Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 he had trouble during the start... maybe stalled it.. or hell maybe it just died.. so he did what your supposed to do.. raise your Left arm to let the people behind you know that you are off the "pace" and he prob woulda been ok if he had not tried to walk it that little bit to where his leg was out more than it might have been standing still and he got clipped.. lost balance and.. WHAMOExactly......lesson learned from this......if this happens to ones self....hell....put both arms up and stay perfectly still until the last bike passes..Hope he lived.
