And the worst part is it often doesn’t kill you until they pull the heavy thing off you and you are free. Then the toxins from the crushed tissues flood into your system and you’re done.

Episode of house where they have to use a handsaw to amputate this woman's leg. If they lift the debris she goes into shock and does from sepsis, they can't fit a good power tool down there so they have to use a human powered one.

The same thing can happen with fall restraint. If the person who fell can’t self-rescue, their harness can cut off circulation to the legs. Very important to get them down as fast as possible.
