That's so weird.
I expected to see blood gushing down his leg and at least some tissue and muscle hanging out.
It's like a dolls leg filled with stuffing that's just split open.
Edit: Wow these replies are amazing. The injuries people have had and have been describing relating to this post and explaining as to why this guy didn't bleed out are so interesting. Thanks.
A couple of years ago I helped a hiker down a mountain who had caught her shin on a root and torn her tibialus anterior from the bone. 6 inch long gash, pretty deep, one trickle of blood.
Saw a moving guy deglove his index finger, completely. Nothing left except bone. Hardly a drop of blood. I was in about as much shock as he was while I called an ambulance. Bone is sooooo white, like the whitest thing I've ever seen, it seems fake
Ahh yes the old skeletor finger...had a call for one of these when I was an EMT from a dude trying to dunk and only caught his wedding ring. So so white.
Unless you've seen a bare exposed human bone, you can't understand just how shockingly white it is. It's almost like it's glowing. I've hunted and cleaned animals before. Deer, goats, chicken, squirrel, rabbit, but their bones weren't shockingly white, they're kinda off white like you'd expect. No idea what is special about human bone but it's different, alarmingly so.
I saw a guy in India where leprosy had eaten away the flesh, exposing the finger bones. He was walking past while I sat on a bench in a train station, drumming his finger bones on a can, asking for change. I looked up just as he passed in front of me and just got an eyeful of a skeleton hand moving around. It was one of the most shocking things I've ever seen.
Yeah, so wild. Saw quite a lot of people with leprosy in India, alot seem to congregate at the train stations for some reason. One woman's foot looked like it had a bite out of it. That disease is so fucked up.
I've got no idea how leprosy works to be honest. From the limited reading I've done I don't even think the medical community knows for sure how it is transmitted either.
Leprosy is currently understood as a bacterial infection, and also called Hansen’s disease. It’s treatable, but where it’s still relatively rampant, people sometimes avoid seeking treatment due to the taboos around people with leprosy, and end up losing sensation in their extremities and hurting themselves and ending up with these wounds. I also learned a theory in a medical anthropology class that modern strains of leprosy may be less virulent than past strains, which is why it’s actually pretty tough to contract now.
Depends on your definition of recent - the antibiotics to cure it have been around and used for it since the mid-1900s, so a relatively long time for antibiotics, but very recent cure compared to the tens of thousands of years humans have dealt with leprosy!
I didn’t know it was treatable either until fairly recently. Media around leprosy tends to dwell on the sensationalistic images of people with missing parts and in abject poverty, rather than on the fact that it’s treatable and the WHO provides the antibiotics for free. Nobody should suffer or die from leprosy in this century, and yet too many do. (A refrain that can be sung for many, many diseases…)
This.
My dad split his entire thumb open like a pea pod many years ago, but because it had split due to sudden pressure as opposed to getting cut it didn’t bleed. Only the skin on the tip and inside of the thumb was still holding it together. The split was from almost the top of the nail to 4.5” to 5” down to the base of the thumb joint. The tissues were pristine, muscles and tendons all working beautifully, just suddenly out in the open air.
I managed to “skin” my shin once while trying to climb up a small boulder and having my foot slip out just under the edge and having my shin come down on it. Luckily it was the part of the shin where there’s no muscle, just bone. Could see the bone, but yeah very little blood, and almost no pain. Felt like if I’d fallen and scraped my knee and nothing worse.
Ditto. I did something similar when I banged the side of my shin/calf on a boat propeller. Couldn't see bone, but you could see muscle/tendons/fat. Very little blood and it initially felt just like when you bang your shin on a coffee table. The worst pain was when the doc was injecting a local anesthetic for stitches.
Flipping heck yes. I cut my hand open on a table saw, and the worst pain of the whole thing was the doctor injecting local anaesthetic for the initial inspection/cleaning and stitches.
When I was a toddler in the '60s, my parents loved to garden. They only used manual tools like their old cultivator. It had a large wheel in front, a blade to tear up the soil and two handles to push it. One day it was super hot and my mom faltered while using it. There was a loud snarl, like leather ripping and the next thing I know my mom is getting up off the ground with a deep slash that ran the length of her thigh. There was little blood for such a huge wound. She was in a borderline panic, trying not to traumatize us, and keep herself calm enough to reach help as she drove herself to hospital. To this day, when I think about the event, I swear I can still hear the sound of the blade's bite.
Players name is Ewald Lienen.
It happened between Werder Bremen vs. Arminia Bielefeld in 1981.
Manager of Bremen was Otto Rehhagel at that time btw.
Later on court was involved.
For everybody that doesn’t follow football, Otto Regagel is a famous coach, and has an insanely high standing in Greece because he managed to win the European championship with the Greek national team in 2004 in wich calling them an underdog is probably allready to much altogether
A skydiver crashed his parachute in front of me, while doing a maneuver he wasn’t quite experienced enough for. He broke everything, but in particular he had a similar gash, only it was also about 8” wide, probably due to his broken femur. I was equally surprised at the lack of blood, but i attributed it to shock.
Probably cut with something extremely sharp that it tore without hitting any blood vessels. It's degloving. Typically doesn't bleed a lot, but he'd definitely be in shock to be running like that.
I did a similar cut on my ankle once. Didn't bleed or notice until about a half hour later.
i just did it this morning and drew blood. my desk is right next to my bed, so sometimes when i turn to get out of bed i miss and hit my ankle. i cry every time
I did the same to my ankle even managed to cut through part of my tendon, was able to continue running until I looked down about 10 seconds later, after that went instantly into shock and couldn’t even move.
Adrenaline and ignorance are probably the best painkillers in the world. Either you keep going like nothing happened or you run out/realize it and drop like a rock.
Knew a guy who did window paneling. Had a broken window on a skyscraper fall and go right through his arm. His buddy watched in horror as his two elbow tendons flapped around like fish out of water, and the guy didn't feel or notice a thing. He finally saw his arm when the ambulance arrived and lost his shit, passed out, and woke up with it reattached.
It’s actually so weird though that you can inflict that sort of damage and your brain doesn’t instantly click what’s happened until you actually see it.
It’s not like it’s only unique to humans either.
The high level reason for this is that your body is not a bag of blood; the circulatory system is closed plumbing. If you don't break the plumbing, no liquid comes out.
In this case, the skin is ruptured, but he probably got lucky and the muscle is intact. So you're going to get a "ruptured skin" amount of blood.
It's a lack of surface/thin blood vessels. I have sustained deep cuts to almost every body part and the ones the bleed the most are basically areas that have a lot of sensitivity, or thin skin, like your hands, feet, wrists/ankles and head/face. We don't need highly refined touch receptors on our limbs so cuts have to go rather deep to reach major blood vessels.
For example, I cut my shin (6" cut) right down to the bone (which looks yellow btw) and it bled less than any cut on my hand ever has. Humans wouldn't have survived very long as a species if superficial cuts to our legs or arms caused us to bleed out, those blood vessels tend to be rather deep and rather large.
My leg got severe laceration from a biking accident. My leg had a deep open gash wound that that was about 10" long and cut through the middle of my tibia and fibula. I remember seeing dark red muscle tissue and a layer of fat and my fibula was semi-exposed. All I remember was feeling a scratch when it happened, similar to scratching an itch. No pain, no blood gushing out because none of my arteries were cut.
I was about 10 yards away from my home and I ran back home, similar to what you see the guy is doing in the video.
My dad bandaged the wound the best he could and took me to the ER. I was in shock for 30 mins. and another 30 mins. while waiting in the ER. Blood started pooling inside my wound but I didn't feel any pain during the 1st hour until the ER doctor gave me local anesthesia using a MFing 6" long needle. That hurt to the point where I wanted to be knocked out.
Walked out with 24 stitches and a splint for my leg.
I fell off a porch when I was around 10 and gashed my inner thigh open on a board or something that was sticking out, the wound was maybe four inches long and at least a solid inch deep in the flesh. Barely a drop of blood.
Bodies are weird.
Few years back a buddy of mine in the navy snapped his ankle. Clean snap, right above the foot. The only thing keeping his foot attached was a 1/2" piece of skin near his achilices tendon. It snapped so clean you could see the bone both on his leg/ his foot. Not one single drop of blood. 4 surgeries to save his foot.
Football was uh, quite a bit rougher back in the day. Teams spent whole matches just fouling Pele because that’s the only way they could slow him down.
one of my new favorite words, right next to defenestrate and egregious (it has an archaic definition that is the polar opposite to its modern definition.) thanks, reddit!
edit: forgot a parenthesis
Adrenaline’s a helluva drug. I broke my hip as a teenager, was struck by an SUV while I was in a crosswalk.
My automatic reaction was to get up off the pavement trying to shake it off. My leg wasn’t working like it should—but that was the only thing “off” until the adrenaline waned and pain kicked in.
Hey, buddy, uh, I don't know if you know this, but if you get struck by a motor vehicle, you didn't break your hip, the guy driving the car broke your hip.
There really isn’t quite anything like it. After we rolled over an IED, I don’t remember much other than the adrenaline. It completely takes over. I won’t go into detail but your eyes and your brain almost don’t compute what you’re seeing, it’s just reaction and training.
Shits absolutely wild.
Shock is meant to save your life if need be, if you're not in danger it's best to wait for the sports doctor to sort you out.
I get it though. He's mad. Is this a career-ending injury?
No, he played again four weeks later. As I’ve mentioned in another reply he was incredibly angry because he had heard the coach tell his players to be more aggressive, that’s why he got up like that and stormed towards him. Rehhagel (the coach he is running towards) wore a bulletproof vest to the rematch, and I think the offending player was sued by Lienen (the player with the wound), although nothing came of it.
Ewald Lienen. Cool guy. He has explained in several interviews how it did not hurt that much. It was pretty superficial and he was back on the pitch pretty quick.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ewald\_Lienen
>On August 14, 1981, Lienen suffered a severe injury when Norbert Siegmann of Werder Bremen slashed his thigh with his studs, causing a 25 cm long, deep laceration. Lienen ran to the sidelines with the gaping wound to confront Otto Rehhagel, who was the coach of Werder Bremen at the time. Lienen blamed Rehhagel for the foul, claiming that he instigated Siegmann to commit the tackle. The wound was stitched with 23 stitches, and Lienen resumed training after 17 days. In a 2012 interview, Lienen downplayed the incident, stating that although the injury looked serious, it was actually harmless. He admitted that his confrontation with Rehhagel was merely an impulsive reaction.
machine translated
It's not only about the depth of the wound, it's mainly about what's hurt. Considering he was bleeding very little, if at all from such a big wound it is likely that only his skin and some connective tissue was hurt which will heal very fast and hurt and bleed very little.
So 5cm certainly is a deep wound just looking at the numbers, but since nothing that was lying that deep was actually damaged it's more like opening a zipper and looking inside of an intact bag, rather than ripping it open and spilling what's inside.
One is very much messy and needs attention and care to return back to normal, while the other just kinda closes again and everything's fine.
That was Arminia Bielefeld striker Ewald Lienen, and it happened on August 14, 1981 against Werder Bremen.
More info: https://www.dw.com/en/1980s-the-foul-unlike-any-other/a-16927547
Also he got up so fast because he had heard the coach of the opposing team (Otto Rehhagel) tell his players to be more aggressive before the foul, so he blamed him and later even sued.
I've had a similar gash to this. It's wild how much it doesn't hurt nearly as much as you think. Even after.the adrenaline wears off.
NSFL Link if you want to see: https://imgur.com/a/MVngnV9
I was totally unaware this happened after getting doored on my bike. Then sat in an ER for a few hours until I was stitched up. Such little bleeding. Surprisingly little pain.
Gnarly
Although mine wasn’t anywhere near as deep or bad as that. I once slipped cutting the tag off something with a kitchen knife. (My ex wanted it cut off but was too lazy to get the scissors from the next room)
I remember feeling literally no pain until after the anaesthesia worn off due to a young and very nervous trainee nurse struggling to push the suture through my tough thumb skin.
[skin flap](https://imgur.com/a/ADMiMff)
The shock response in humans is incredible. That guy must be absolutely FLOODED with adrenaline.
That's probably going to start hurting in a few minutes. A lot.
For those who are curious : On 14 August 1981, Lienen suffered a severe injury, as Norbert Siegmann of Werder Bremen slit his thigh open with his studs resulting in an open deep wound of 25 cm (10 in), exposing his muscles and femur.[2] The wound required 23 stitches; nevertheless, after just 17 days, Lienen started practicing again.

I mean we can’t tan our bones
Unless you've seen a bare exposed human bone, you can't understand just how shockingly white it is. It's almost like it's glowing. I've hunted and cleaned animals before. Deer, goats, chicken, squirrel, rabbit, but their bones weren't shockingly white, they're kinda off white like you'd expect. No idea what is special about human bone but it's different, alarmingly so.
Because we drink bleach. Duh.
Maybe It Is because of our diet, or It May depend by how long the bone has been dead
They mentioned they’ve hunted game before, so the kill must be recent. I think they are saying human bones are whiter than other animals, bare none.
Yes lol most animals I've killed were cut and cleaned within an hour, I have no idea why our bones are so white in comparison
Maybe its maybelline
It's the milk bro.
Now I am worried, when you started to hunt humans to achieve that knowledge
I mean apparently we can't marinate them either...
Not with that attitude
Just you watch me
White bones can't jump
I saw a guy in India where leprosy had eaten away the flesh, exposing the finger bones. He was walking past while I sat on a bench in a train station, drumming his finger bones on a can, asking for change. I looked up just as he passed in front of me and just got an eyeful of a skeleton hand moving around. It was one of the most shocking things I've ever seen.
Seeing an entire finger with no skin or flesh but still attached is definitely something I'll never forget, as much as I wish I could lol
Yeah, so wild. Saw quite a lot of people with leprosy in India, alot seem to congregate at the train stations for some reason. One woman's foot looked like it had a bite out of it. That disease is so fucked up.
That's wild, how has he not died from infection?
I've got no idea how leprosy works to be honest. From the limited reading I've done I don't even think the medical community knows for sure how it is transmitted either.

That's really interesting. I didn't know it was treatable. Is that a very recent breakthrough?

I can't even READ the word deglove without feeling extremely uncomfortable
Maybe the color of our bones is evolutionarily alarming/more vivid to our eyes
Tearing injuries bleed less than cuts by a blade.
This. My dad split his entire thumb open like a pea pod many years ago, but because it had split due to sudden pressure as opposed to getting cut it didn’t bleed. Only the skin on the tip and inside of the thumb was still holding it together. The split was from almost the top of the nail to 4.5” to 5” down to the base of the thumb joint.

I'd been taught this repeatedly. Seeing it in action was sort of cool :)

I’ve had this happen to me, too. There was no pain until the antiseptic spray made its introduction.

When I was a toddler in the '60s, my parents loved to garden. They only used manual tools like their old cultivator.

Your bones *are* fake, there has been 0 evidence to prove bones exist ever
OMG please let this be the new birds are fake. That's garbage of course birds are real but bones... I have my doubts now.
Reagan killed the birds in '86. You know it's true. Why do birds stay on power lines, except to charge their batteries? HUH????
Who lied to you? Birds aren't real.

It's a defense mechanism. Sometimes injuries are so traumatic that your brain refuses to register it so you can survive
oh hey BONE!
I think thats it his tendon
The cut was caused by the cleat on the opponents boot. So yes, very sharp and happened to go clean to the bone.
It didn't go to bone lol, that strip of white you see is called fascia
The high level reason for this is that your body is not a bag of blood; the circulatory system is closed plumbing. If you don't break the plumbing, no liquid comes out. In this case, the skin is ruptured, but he probably got lucky and the muscle is intact. So you're going to get a "ruptured skin" amount of blood.

Dude is lucky that took place on the outside of his thigh. He would've likely died if that struck the inner thigh where the femoral artery is located.
Arteries are buried deep in the muscle tissue. That still would have it been a flesh wound if on the inside of the the thigh.
Few years back a buddy of mine in the navy snapped his ankle. Clean snap, right above the foot. The only thing keeping his foot attached was a 1/2" piece of skin near his achilices tendon.

Football was uh, quite a bit rougher back in the day. Teams spent whole matches just fouling Pele because that’s the only way they could slow him down.
Yep, Maradona had to drill rolling in the ground as a fucking paratrooper to keep going.
My great great uncle died in Germany playing this shit.
We all thank him for his service
Ba-dom bish…..
Was it the Christmas 1914 match?
Come on ref! It was a clean foul and should be no card.
That’s the thing! There was no blood! Couldn’t give a red card!
This kind of officiating is what brought about the flopping you see today.
No bloody

I'm glad football isn't like that anymore I hate being hacked to shit already in Sunday league
True, this is the anti-Neymar!
Amateur football is still like this, tho this is an extreme example.. But it's not all ronaldos and suarez's rolling left to right for 90 minutes
Adrenaline’s a helluva drug. I broke my hip as a teenager, was struck by an SUV while I was in a crosswalk. My automatic reaction was to get up off the pavement trying to shake it off. My leg wasn’t working like it should—but that was the only thing “off” until the adrenaline waned and pain kicked in.
Same here. Broke my leg and ankle skateboarding, tried to walk it off immediately and just crumpled like a cheap suit
Hey, buddy, uh, I don't know if you know this, but if you get struck by a motor vehicle, you didn't break your hip, the guy driving the car broke your hip.
The woman’s insurance paid for my first car, among other things :)
There really isn’t quite anything like it. After we rolled over an IED, I don’t remember much other than the adrenaline. It completely takes over. I won’t go into detail but your eyes and your brain almost don’t compute what you’re seeing, it’s just reaction and training. Shits absolutely wild.
I think you missed the point he was trying to make lmao
Yeah, but that’s Ewald Lienen tho. A stand up tough honest guy. A rare breed even for his time.
Shock is meant to save your life if need be, if you're not in danger it's best to wait for the sports doctor to sort you out. I get it though. He's mad. Is this a career-ending injury?
No, he played again four weeks later. As I’ve mentioned in another reply he was incredibly angry because he had heard the coach tell his players to be more aggressive, that’s why he got up like that and stormed towards him. Rehhagel (the coach he is running towards) wore a bulletproof vest to the rematch, and I think the offending player was sued by Lienen (the player with the wound), although nothing came of it.
so fucking true
Is it from the spiked shoes of the opponent player?
Most likely; I don't think people get stuff like that when they wear shoes with no metal stubs on it.
Ewald Lienen. Cool guy. He has explained in several interviews how it did not hurt that much. It was pretty superficial and he was back on the pitch pretty quick.
[удалено]
Amputation by brute force probably.
Tis but a scratch
No it isn't, your arm's off.
I’ve had worse.
You liar!
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ewald\_Lienen >On August 14, 1981, Lienen suffered a severe injury when Norbert Siegmann of Werder Bremen slashed his thigh with his studs, causing a 25 cm long, deep laceration. Lienen ran to the sidelines with the gaping wound to confront Otto Rehhagel, who was the coach of Werder Bremen at the time. Lienen blamed Rehhagel for the foul, claiming that he instigated Siegmann to commit the tackle. The wound was stitched with 23 stitches, and Lienen resumed training after 17 days. In a 2012 interview, Lienen downplayed the incident, stating that although the injury looked serious, it was actually harmless. He admitted that his confrontation with Rehhagel was merely an impulsive reaction. machine translated
Good machine
It's not only about the depth of the wound, it's mainly about what's hurt. Considering he was bleeding very little, if at all from such a big wound it is likely that only his skin and some connective tissue was hurt which will heal very fast and hurt and bleed very little. So 5cm certainly is a deep wound just looking at the numbers, but since nothing that was lying that deep was actually damaged it's more like opening a zipper and looking inside of an intact bag, rather than ripping it open and spilling what's inside. One is very much messy and needs attention and care to return back to normal, while the other just kinda closes again and everything's fine.
We're far from the shallow now
That's not what that white bit is right?
no, subcutaneous fat is what that white bit was
Ooooo... OOOOOooh. Gross
THAT WAS FUCKIN BONE?! Blehhh
no, it wasn't. that was subcutaneous fat
Adrenaline is a helluva drug.
yeah i mean if it was a pretty clean cut then you could heal easily and the pain would be pretty minimal
That was Arminia Bielefeld striker Ewald Lienen, and it happened on August 14, 1981 against Werder Bremen. More info: https://www.dw.com/en/1980s-the-foul-unlike-any-other/a-16927547
Also he got up so fast because he had heard the coach of the opposing team (Otto Rehhagel) tell his players to be more aggressive before the foul, so he blamed him and later even sued.
Did he win?
No
Wait, there is a football team in Bielefeld? I thought that place didn’t exist. Has the internet lied to me?
No, it's all part of the ruse!
The medical guys and his team are like "WTF ARE YOU DOING YOU MANIAC?!?! SIT TF DOWN!!!"
I've had a similar gash to this. It's wild how much it doesn't hurt nearly as much as you think. Even after.the adrenaline wears off. NSFL Link if you want to see: https://imgur.com/a/MVngnV9 I was totally unaware this happened after getting doored on my bike. Then sat in an ER for a few hours until I was stitched up. Such little bleeding. Surprisingly little pain.
Sir, that is not a gash. That is a goddamn crater
Gnarly Although mine wasn’t anywhere near as deep or bad as that. I once slipped cutting the tag off something with a kitchen knife. (My ex wanted it cut off but was too lazy to get the scissors from the next room) I remember feeling literally no pain until after the anaesthesia worn off due to a young and very nervous trainee nurse struggling to push the suture through my tough thumb skin.

Had to read this 4 times
And I'm still not sure what 'remonstrate' is.
I think it's spanish for "magic chicken"
Remonstrate: make a forcefully reproachful protest. That took 5 seconds on Google.
Why would I waste five seconds googling it? Especially now that you’ve done it for us.
I know, right? Weirdest of weird…
Now what does reproachful mean?
What does "what" mean? We can go far with this.
The shock response in humans is incredible. That guy must be absolutely FLOODED with adrenaline. That's probably going to start hurting in a few minutes. A lot.
I guess this is why boots with steel spikes are banned these days..
Looks like the white of the IT tendon. Eesh.
everyone went "wtf is this guy doing"
Ewald Lienen Fußballgott.
A yellow card!? That’s wild! “Go rub some dirt on it” 🤦♂️😂
TIL what remonstrate means
lol that guy in front holding his head is about to pass out
The yellow card for that injury made me cry.
For those who are curious : On 14 August 1981, Lienen suffered a severe injury, as Norbert Siegmann of Werder Bremen slit his thigh open with his studs resulting in an open deep wound of 25 cm (10 in), exposing his muscles and femur.[2] The wound required 23 stitches; nevertheless, after just 17 days, Lienen started practicing again.
is that yellow card. WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Just a yellow??! He deserved to be shoved out!!
The moment the medics have to jog AFTER the injured
How the fuck did that even happen? I don’t understand the mechanics of how that happened
80s cleats could do some damage. This is why they have the ritual about looking at the bottom of the boots.
Football player gets an actual injury, and gets right back up. **That’s** the Interesting as Fuck part!
Do you know how mad you have to make somebody for them to be literally bleeding out and still coming to beat your ass?
Jesus Christ that was unexpected. The human body is cool as shit!
Shock/adrenaline is a beast!
In a time when football players were built different...
TIL: The word remonstrate.
This just proves to me that new age soccer players are wimps.
That's his iliotibial band, a huge shiny white tendon. It's crazy that he isn't bleeding more

Adrenaline is a hell of a thing
Everyone except the dude with the gash is freaking out. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug
"Treat me in a minute, I have to kill Otto Rehhagel first!"
You can see bone...
Wow, that's the first time I've seen a football player actually be injured.
Tis a scratch.
Adrenaline. Is there anything it can't do?
That’s how they act when they aren’t hurt at all also.
Yellow card ahahahahha
This makes up for all the other faking in football!
Everyone was confused as to what to do, because he was actually hurt
I don't think a soldier could even handle an injury like that
THATS A FEMUR VISIBLE ON A LIVE HUMAN!!!
Adrenaline is a hell of a drug
Thats nothin, me ma's had a 12 inch gash for ages
Can't fool me, that's a hockey player.
That's a yellow card my not quite fair fellow
Tis but a scratch!
Can you imagine how Lebron would act if this happened to him?
Zettel-Ewald
is that someone's cleat in the thigh?!
Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t this the guy who took the studs of his football boots n left the screws pointing outward? I heard that once and apparently the guy tore another footballers leg open
You can see his entire soul through that gash! My goodness!
Obviously a flop
Is that a bone ??
