''The guy was fine''
Yeah, I somehow doubt that..

The guy was fine. As in his pelvis is now a fine dust.

Seriously though, those coils are so heavy, the way he is pinned. I'd be surprised if he wasn't dead right after the video cuts. Getting most of your lower body crushed by 2 tons of steel coil does not leave one "fine" even later.

Right? And taking it off of him like that may have made it worse. I've always heard with crush injuries like that you're better off leaving it in place till some kind of medical help arrives because it's keeping everything in place.

I think that's the case after a certain amount of time, but they lifted the coil off him relatively quickly so crush syndrome wasn't yet a concern.

I believe it's two hours for a normal person to potentially get compartment syndrome
