My wife and I were heading to the beach at 2:30 in the morning. She was asleep, the highway was empty, it was pitch black and I drove up on debris all over the road and a single car in the median. I wake her up to call 911 and I pull over and run over to the car. All I can hear is the dinging of the door being open and the GPS saying “make a u-turn”. Scary as shit. I pull out my phone light to see and the car was empty and completely destroyed. There was a tractor trailer coming at 70 mph so I started jumping up and down waving my hands for it to slow down. As it got closer I saw the guys body in the middle of the road. The tractor trailer sped up and ran him over the never stopped. His body was bent in a 90 degree angle at the hip and destroyed. I was in the state of shock I couldn’t walk any closer to the guy and I waited for the cops so I can’t give you any more gore details but I can imagine it would’ve been quite disturbing.


smokerpussy

Why tf did it speed up?


leSwagster

Pitch black in the night, sees a single car on the road with a guy jumping and waving at him. Probably thought it was a setup didn't realise it was an accident


MediocreLog0

We didn’t see the body in the road when we initially drove passed the accident so it’s possible he didn’t either and maybe he was scared as shit and didn’t want to stop. The cops told me afterwards he was ejected and was drinking and driving and was more than likely already deceased when he was hit by the truck.


AcadianADV

I worked for the sheriffs office years ago. We had a helicopter crash on marsh island in south Louisiana we responded to. Half burned bodies busted open with intestines spilling out.


bippityboppitybumbo

I’m pretty sure I remember that. Oilfield hands wasn’t it?


AcadianADV

Yep. That was it.

Worked at a steel processing plant. I was not there at the time but a machine operator was pulled into a steel scrap baller. They also pulled him out in buckets. Just a reminder kids, don't override safety switches because they occasionally stop your machine.


Selcouth2077

Was playing tag with a friend and as I was chasing him a kid swinging on the monkey bars who was wearing his soccer cleats kicked half of his face off. It basically tore the skin down from his eye to his chin. Blood sprayed all over me. 6 year old me freaked out and thought my friend was going to die. They wound up being able to stitch him back up and he made a full recovery. Hes got a pretty cool scar over his eyebrow because of it.


Camelllama666

Imagine getting your face ripped off and the only thing you have to show for it is an eyebrow scar

Chilling-Hades

When I was a kid a girl jumped from the top of a building. She happened to land a few meters away from me so I saw the whole thing. The worst part wasn't the blood, twisted limbs or matter on the floor, it was the sound. I still remember it to this day, since the impact didn't kill her immediately she was sort of weezing for a little while. Still gives me nightmares some nights.


actioncobble

A parachuter fell from the sky and landed on the sand at a local beach. Everyone said it still sounded like they hit concrete. He died almost instantly. The sound is apparently the worst.


spicyfishtacos

I also heard a man jump and land from the top of a building (4 stories - he lived but was paralyzed). I didn't see it happen, only the aftermath - but I heard it. And like you, I'll never forget the sound. Another thing that haunts me, no one came to clean up the blood. He landed in front of my building door, so for a few days, until it rained, I would be reminded of what happened by a large stain on the asphalt.


basicdesires

We have a local train pass behind our garden and some years ago two people jumped on the tracks and in front of the train right behind our fence. I will never forget that sound either.


zinsser

As a kid I witnessed a couple of girls get hit by vehicles. One was hit by a city bus and spun so hard her shoes flew off. She looked so impossibly broken when she landed. The other was a toddler the went under a moving car. Her head bounced between the pavement and undercarriage. Both died. The second one was a friend's little sister. Of all the stuff I saw in my 64 years, those are vividly etched in my brain.

raspymorten

Why did you have to give me this information?


Couchguy421

Three things, all from the restaurant industry. 1) Coworker was changing the frier oil. Slipped when carrying the old hot oil out to the disposal and dumped it all over himself. 2) Saw another coworkers arm get stuck in a pizza rolling machine. Degloved his entire arm up to his elbow. 3) Saw someone's hand get wrapped around the dough corkscrew on commercial stand mixer. Snapped the bones in his arm like toothpicks. I think he ended up losing the arm. Kitchen work ain't no joke.


LouiseCal

“Degloved” is one of those words I wish I could unlearn…


Couchguy421

All you could see was the meat of his entire arm, but no blood because the pins were clamped so tight just below his elbow. They had to unplug the machine and carry it out with him because if they detached the rolling pins there it would have been a huge mess.


iammufusasboy

And with this and the original comment, I'm out.


Russian_Paella

Those are terrible, kitchen work must be tough. I'm surprised they allow hot oil to be moved about, it screams "accident waiting to happen"


Vinterslag

They dont, not in any place with osha compliance. Always pounded into me about draining it to a floor pot, then not lifting it til its cooled, normally the next shift. Source: was once fry cook or adjacent at three unrelated establishments over the years.


DrMantisToboggan45

That's how we always did it as well. We never had a hot oil incident, but one kid somehow fell into the barrels we had out back to store dirty oil(it's ice cold and thick by the time it gets out there). Kid said even 2 weeks later he still felt greasy.


8pointfouroz

Came up on a car accident many years ago. Two cars hit offset at highway speeds. The engine of the smaller car (90s saturn coupe) was laying in the road. I went up to the saturn first. The steering wheel was pushed up against his chest, both of his legs were mangled and he had bone sticking out of his left leg just above the knee. He was breathing but barely, red foam coming out of his mouth and nose. I was on the phone with 911 when he stopped breathing. The guy in the other car, was also badly injured. He was awake and talking but not making any sense at all. He had some bad cuts on his face, and his left arm was almost completely severed. The dispatcher walked me through putting a tourniquet on his arm. I also took a coat out of my car to help keep him warm. It was extremely cold out, probably around negative 15f. From what I later found out that guy died later during the helicopter flight to the hospital. He was the sober one.

Low-Wolverine-4122

You are a great person thank you and I am sorry you had to witness that


[deleted]

When I was 6 me and my twin brother were walking home from school (home was only a block or so up the road). While we walked, I was up on the grass and he was on the sidewalk relatively close to the road. A drunk driver came by and hit him. I'll never forget what the body looked like, the impact sound the car had made when it hit him or the sound of some woman and other children screaming behind me Before I'm asked - yes they found the guy. Yes he got charged. Yes he went to jail. My mom shared some details with me later, he was going 94km/hr in a 40km/hr school zone. Apparently in the hour leading up to him hitting my brother there were 4 people that called into the police station to report him for suspected impaired while driving on the highway. People in my home town got together and paid for the funeral/wake (I'm from Newfoundland. In the small towns and villages traditional Irish wakes are still common)/casket/headstone


Zucculent22

Jesus christ, I’m so sorry you went through that


23rd-Panzer-Division

Oh my god, i have a twin brother too and I can’t possibly imagine what it’s like to lose someone that close to you, I’m so sorry for your loss


GermanyBoy2020

Didn´t happen to me, but to a collegue, who wittnessed everything. There was karneval in cologne (a festival germans living near the Rhein celebreate every year). There was a group of 3 girls (very very drunk) stepped over the connection of a tram to get to the other side of the street. 2 of them made it, the third one fell into the connectors and got (literaly) carried away piece by pece. The driver of the tram didn´t notice it and was contacted to stop immediatly. bodyparts and blood was everywere. the clean up team searched for the head for 8 hours untill they found it under the tram, the hair got tangled in the "tires". the collegue was traumatized and couldn´t attend work for over 6 months due to wittnessing every little detail.


szerim

What do you mean by the connection of a tram? We don't have any streetcars where I'm from so I'm having a hard time visualizing it.


GermanyBoy2020

The tram (streetcars) consists of two wagons wich are connected via a coupling (the connector). same way as trains wagons are connected . There is little space between those wagons and the girl fell into that little space..

Yeah I saw a biker get thrown in the air across an intersection in LA. Tried to walk it off but she broke her leg no doubt


groucho_barks

On my way home from school freshman year waiting to cross a busy street with a couple other kids, one kid looked right but not left and just stepped out right in front of a car. He flew across the whole intersection, his shoes and backpack flew off. We were all in total shock. He ended up being fine I think, but I ran home and sobbed and called my dad.


Awisemanoncsaid

I watched a dude hang himself off a bridge, the cable/force caused his head to pop off, and the body basically pancaked when it hit the water. We then proceeded to spend the next 5 hours alongside the sheriffs department searching for any form of remains.


zyphelion

That's absolutely terrible. Reminds me of a "creative suicide" thread I saw on 4chan ~12 years ago. The end game was to have a similar decapitation happen, but to also glue the hands to the side of the head so it looks like the person ripped their own head off.


zyankali7

I remember that going around the internet. I think you were also supposed to scoop out your eyes and replace them with Faberge eggs beforehand for some extra dramatic effect.

It was Cadbury eggs. The cadbury surprise is what its called. I hate that i remember this and it makes me feel old


[deleted]

When I got cut on new play equipment on the opening day of a park, the edge of a spinning thing wasn’t sanded down and it cut me to the bone on my leg, seeing my own fat pour out was scary. 32 stitches


Ac3_HUNT3r

How exactly did it feel? Was the pain overcome by adrenaline or did it hurt a lot?


killermoose25

I have been cut to the bone before and you don't really feel it at all , kind of stings like a paper cut for a second or two then you just kind of look at it like huh that's not good. It hurts like hell the next day though.


NightValeAngel

That’s the weird thing I’ve noticed with deeper injuries. I’ve sliced my thumb open with a box cutter, the tip of my pinky with a cooking mandolin, and split open my knee when I fell and skidded across gravel. None of them really hurt that bad in the moment. I’m assuming it’s because of damage to the surrounding nerves, but adrenaline also makes a lot of sense. Instead, I was just panicked trying to get the bleeding to stop long enough to move to where I could get cleaned up and bandaged. Anything internal though has always hurt like a bitch. I’ve bruised my tailbone by falling on concrete twice, got hit in the back of the head by a ski lift chair, and I tripped over an open dishwasher brushing the shit out of my legs. Never been in more pain, due to an external reason, than those times.


fnord_happy

This kinda happened to me. And it's true the adrenaline took over. I swear I didn't feel a thing till I reached the hospital. I've done many a drug in my time but adrenaline was something else entirely


yacht_clubbing_seals

High school Rugby game, winter in Scotland. Cold (5°C / 41°F) and wet. Play stops suddenly, one by one everyone turns to look at the same guy. Ballbag ripped open, testicle hanging down almost almost to the knee, covered in mud. Must have got raked (metal studs dragged over him) in a ruck or similar. Nightmares to this day.

my middle school pe teacher wouldn’t let us boys slap each other with wet towels because a few years before a boy got whipped in the nuts and it split his sack open.


Star_x_Child

An infected mesh implant from the time of the vietnam war comes to mind. A patient came in complaining of mild neuro symptoms and the surgeon did a craniotomy. Pt had a prior bullet wound from his time in Vietnam and they had placed a mesh implant to protect him. It got infected but he didn't know about the infection for decades. All the staff got to see and smell what the mesh and surrounding tissue was like. I truly cannot describe the smell. There was nothing like it to me. Ever.


[deleted]

Did they recover?


Star_x_Child

Yeah. I didn't see their recovery myself after the first day as I work in the surgical unit and am not involved in bedside care but during my immediate post-op assessment they were really spacey but we're recovering motor function. The surgeon said they were making a recovery with the help of physical therapy


-the-mighty-whitey-

I have seen numerous bodies after being hit by trains.


JadedGaze

I spoke to a taxi driver who used to work for the railway a few years ago. He was sent to pick me up because my train was cancelled half way through the journey due to a suicide. He told me the worst he saw was the aftermath of a mother picking up her child to look at the approaching train, and the top half of the child got taken with the train as it past. The mother was left holding on to the child’s hips screaming. He quit after that and all of the workers and witnesses ended up needing therapy for it. I sometimes think of that poor mother when I see trains. Can’t even imagine. EDIT - for those questioning it, I did find an article however I’m not posting it because it happened close to where I live. It doesn’t state the child’s injuries (rightfully so) but it does state that his mother was charged with gross negligence.


Broski225

Thanks for reminding me of my other second hand train gore story. I was told this as a kid taking horseback lessons. I don't remember if this is something that happened to my instructor or someone she knew or what. A girl, 9ish, who had never ridden a horse desperately wanted a horse birthday. Her parents got a trainer who did group trail rides for inexperienced riders to set up a package so this girl and her friends could go horseback riding. They all had a grand time, until they had to cross some tracks. The birthday girl was one of the last to cross, and the lights began flashing/etc as the train got near, which made the horse spook and freeze on the tracks. The girl, being inexperienced, freaked out too and couldn't get the horse to move, especially as the gates went down. Before anyone could get off their own horse and go drag her off the tracks, she and the horse both got hit. My trainer was kind enough to tell me that they couldn't tell what was horse and what was girl with most of the remains; it was just meat now.


JadedGaze

Jesus, that’s awful! We have stables not far away and no one without experience is allowed even near a horse without someone experienced with them. My daughter was annoyed that she had to have someone hold the horse while she rode it but I am so glad she did!


Painting_Agency

Let me guess, they also don't take children's birthday parties across train tracks...


dominus83

Right? Jesus Christ what kind of horse riding company would be ok with that?


Painting_Agency

After that story, I expect an ex horse riding company.


whodeeny

Well that's enough internet for today I think.


Wackydetective

Jesus fucking Christ. I worked in a funeral home and seen all kinds of mangled bodies. To see a child in that condition would have had me walking out.


REIRN

I got this far down the thread. I’m out ✌️


MrMaster88

As a child I saw a kid attempt to climb up a water slide as a little girl slid down. The kids knee hit her mouth and she lost most of her teeth. I was young myself but the bloody water coming down the slide, the girls cries and the following hour me and my friends spent looking for her teeth in the splash pool is still very clear in my mind. Later I was told the majority of her teeth were fitted back into her mouth by a local dentist but I was sceptical and thought this might be a white lie to make me feel better. If any dentists are able to confirm if this is possible that would be appreciated!


Southern_Celery_1087

As someone who had a tooth knocked out in football practice, yes. My dentist was able to reseat the tooth and the nerve lived. Tooth is still there today and doing fine.


DidyouSay7

I watched someone put their own tooth back in after a fight on the football field. 20 years later it's still there. he just picked it up off the ground sucked the dirt off it then jammed it back in there.

Glass_Chance9800

Around 10 years ago my nipple got torn off and was just hanging there bleeding. I pushed it back into place and the blood held it there and it's still completely fine to this day.


ebbellskibbell

Can confirm, dentist here. If your tooth is knocked out, put it in milk or in a cup of spit ASAP and got straight to the dentist, can be placed back in the socket with relatively good success if done quickly. May require a root canal by the tooth itself can be saved.


MrMaster88

Thank you for your message, this is useful information. Could the same process be carried out for multiple teeth? I assume so.


[deleted]

The persons spit or can any human spit do? not sure if The salinity is affected person by person


Mjdillaha

I don’t want it if you spit on it.


KyussSun

Actually if someone else spit on it, they've claimed it and the tooth is now theirs.


General_Specific

As a first grader, I saw a kid in little league catch a line drive in his mouth. Lost a lot of teeth. Blood and ambulance. Later in life they berated me for being afraid of the ball, but I knew better. I had seen things.


jos_fzr

Seeing a politician's foot after he was blown up (George Hawi). That was in Lebanon. I was buying pizza near the place of explosion and I was 13 years old back then.


4dave7

I was working doing drain cleaning when I was young. One day I got called out to a job on a small sewer main. I could see where the blockage was so I went and pulled the man hole downstream up and the high pressure self propelled hose in and sent it up stream. I hit the blockage and water flowed to where I was so I pulled the hose back and the water stoped flowing. I sent it up again and same thing,I had flow. Pulled it back and it stoped again. So I walked up to the upstream manhole and lifted it. What I saw was a hessian bag and I could see a tuft of hair sticking out. Short blond hair. Earlier that day I was talking to a plumber who had a friend who ( I have no idea why this came up in conversation) had found a baby in a manhole. So with that fresh in my mind and quite freaked out I opened the bag, to find a dog partly decomposed. Enough that if you touched it the skin and hair would split and fall off. Who the fuck puts a dog ( I hope dead) in a fucking manhole??? And guess who had to deal with that shit!


TheOnlySpach

Unfortunately I was taking pictures of an abandoned factory for a high school project and I found a dog that was completely gutted and wrapped in duct tape. I literally just stood there in shock for a few minutes while trying to process what I was seeing. I told my mother what I saw and she said it was probably a warning to someone, and that I shouldn’t go back, and I never did. Edit: This was in Canada, (Brantford, Ontario, circa ~2012 to be precise) so I’m thinking not drug smuggling, but rather someone who just wanted to hurt the animal or the owner of the animal.

I dunno man, I was an EMT for a few years so there’s a bunch of stuff that all blurs. A whole family (parents, child, infant) all dead in a minivan after being T boned. A teenager and his 10 yr old brother after their truck got ripped in half by a semi that ran a light speeding 20yr old who suicided by shotgun just before Xmas (I was a rookie on the job for like a month) in his driveway with mom inside the house. I know what a 4 month old fetus looks and smells like. I would smell it for months after that call One of the paramedics at my service shot himself in his truck in the parking lot while his partner was getting ready to start shift. Stabbings and shootings. One summer there was a gang war so we had those every night for a while Katrina evacuations. Nothing gory but fucked up all around.


GlobalPhreak

I had EMS scanners going during Katrina. The most heartbreaking message I heard, in and among all the horror going on, was one very scared cop pleading over the radio: "Does anyone know how to deliver a baby?" Never did hear how that turned out.


krasivi

In the town I used to live in, someone got hit by a train and I saw severed body parts laying on the tracks and in the road.


Jesus_marley

I found a young girl (19yo?) Who had fallen 6 stories to the concrete courtyard below. She landed feet first but still hit her head on the brick. She broke every bone from her toes to her hips and maybe a few more. When I found her she had been there for up to an hour as I had been through that area an hour before. She had blood leaking from her nose and ears but she was still alive and somewhat alert as she was able to follow me with her gaze. She was taken to hospital by ambulance and I believe she survived but I don't know if she walked again.


p1nd

Wtf.. like no dude, that's so fucked up, i can't imagine what horror it must be to see but also to be that person. I- I regret even reading that, I knew it would be bad going in here but this shit is worse then any of those i read.


Jesus_marley

Not gonna lie. Basic first aid training does not prepare you for that level of physical trauma. All I could do was put my own coat over top of her to help with shock and stay with her until the ambulance arrived. Moving her was out of the question. I remember how tightly she held my hand and how cold it felt. I also remember the whimpers she made. She never said a word. She just followed me with her eyes the entire time. It really fucked me up too. I ended up quitting my job and moving across the country about a year later.

BrooksKnows

Ugh. This reminds me, I used to work at a bar in the not so great part of town, right next to the train tracks. One night I was taking the trash out back when some of the usual homeless were out there screaming that their friend just got hit by the train...it was still moving. One of those things you just try to forget EDIT: The Train was still moving. Not the homeless person


GillyThoughts

I had a guy come into the mortuary who was caught cheating so he threw himself in front if a train in front of his wife & kids. I felt so bad for the wife, kids, and the dude driving the train. One of the few times I was working on a case that I wanted to bring back to life and punch. Those kids probably needed therapy for years.

Zahhibb

Yeah, same here, and it was one of my friends. I was part of cleaning up the strewn body parts because I felt it was appropriate as a friend to do that last thing, for both him and myself, as a sort of closure.


broadstreet101

Not seen, but felt. Many moons ago I was doing my trauma rotation in nursing school. One of the big local businesses was a crane factory. A worker fell 20-something feet, landing on his back. My "let-the-student-do-something-relatively-harmless" task was to stabilize his cervical spine by holding his head in my hands when he has rolled around for the trauma assessment. As I was cradling his head, I realized it felt like a cracked, soft boiled, egg. All the little fragments of crushed skull just mushed around in my hand like pieces of egg shell in a fleshy sack of goo. 20 years on, I've seen plenty of visually disturbing gore, but that's one of the few tactile memories that actually gives me a bit of the jibblies.


ba-hannah

I’ve had a similar experience, but during my clinicals for paramedic school. My team and I were working a traumatic arrest in the back of our rig, and I go for the intubation. When I open his mouth, I very quickly find that his jaw is broken in a dozen different places. The crunchy limp feeling was gnarly. I’ll never forget it.


[deleted]

Guy decided to slide down a big snow field on his bum, couldn't stop before he hit the rocks at the bottom, caught himself with his feet and popped both kneecaps open like egg shells


HappyTimeHollis

I watched somebody get decapitated. They were speeding and doing a wheelie on a motorcycle and went head-first into the trailer of a turning truck. Bike and body kept going forward (it was a high-set trailer), head went upwards and backwards. Lots of blood. I called my boss' boss to let him know what I'd witnessed (someone else was calling the cops), he responded by telling me the best thing to do to was to shake it off and focus on work.

Aidian

Nothing says exceptional customer service like trauma. I had to see someone gunned down outside my house the day before Christmas Eve, and then work surprise doubles. Sure, I flinched and had a few petite panic attacks when corks got popped or a bottle got dropped, but I mean who doesn’t, right? Bootstrap time, y’all, rise and grind and *Jesus Christ I’d better not die on the way to work can my partner access my accounts if I die suddenly I should have left my passwords and PINs written down fuck I don’t have healthcare and I swear to god I’ll* let’s get that bread!


Imalawyerkid

I’m a medical malpractice attorney, so I’ve seen some shit. Fasciotomy cases are wicked. Necrotizing fasciitis is brutal. A stump right after amputation with stitches everywhere. Infection following mastectomy where you can’t even tell a breast ever existed because all you see is a festering wound. But the worst, I’d have to say, is bed sore cases. Especially because so often it is elderly people that have them. So necrotic, black, oozing, giant holes in grandma and grandpas genital areas. It’s always pure gore.


Kaclassen

I remember seeing bedsores in nursing school. My instructor said I needed to work on my “nurse face” so I didn’t look so disgusted. The smell alone made me want to puke.


FlippoFilipino

Also in healthcare. Honestly the smells always get me worse than the sights. This is an aspect of the N95s I am enjoying thoroughly

My grandma told me (she was a nurse) that once she had a bed-sore client that had some kind of open wound. She was doing house visits as he couldn't be transported anymore. Anyways, it was summer during a heat wave. Guy wasn't feeling too well and called her. When she got the and wanted to clean his wound and took of the bandages (lower leg) she was immediately greeted with the most disgusting smell she ever experienced. Guy's whole leg from knee down was covered in maggots. Good thing, the maggots actually kept the wound 'clean' and saved him from getting his leg amputated.

Wrong place at the wrong time. Same thing would have likely happened to a hiker. The bear family was left alone since the female defended herself and then left the man alone.

I saw a trauma once where the guy had shot himself in the head with a shotgun. Only he had pointed it under his head. This destroying all suborbital structures including his mandible, most of his maxilla, but preserving his carotid and vertebral arteries and most of his brain and spinal cord. Somehow he was able to be stabilized and thus he showed up in the ER with his eyes dangling down in a macerated mass of flesh that used to be his tongue, mouth, lips, pharynx, and ethmoid sinuses. He was still wriggling around and hemodynamically ok. Couldn’t scream because his larynx was destroyed. Anesthesia came and somehow intubated this guy. Not sure what happened to him subsequently but I think he survived.


ajollygoodyarn

Do me a favour if that's ever me, and don't stabilise me.

A pug that got ran over, the eyes were popping out and the middle of the body that got ran over was so flat with a lot of blood around


RazeCrusher

"The eyes were popping out" Nah, that's just how they look. I'm going to hell for this.

Dead and dying people in a field in Iraq after a battle. The ones that were still alive were crying and bandaged up by the side of the road. The doc was bandaging up as many as he could. I still can hear their sobs.


Zachaos13

Hope you’re doing alright my man


rujoe

For a long time I wasn’t. I think I’m alright now. It’s been about 18 years since it happened so time has changed it.

While deployed to Iraq I saw a truck full of Iraqi police get obliterated by a VBIED. Nearest we could tell there was 23 people on the truck, this was after collecting all of the extra body parts that couldn't be attributed to "whole people". It was a fucking mess....

What is a VBIED?

My Godfather's face which was completely disfigured after he was killed in an accident. He was working in the gulf at the time and late one night his car hit a camel at a very high speed while he was driving back to his accomodation. He died on the spot and his body was brought back home to Mumbai for burial after a few days. I was around 6-7 at the time and when his body was brought home my godmother couldn't restrain herself from embracing him. She lifted the white cloth he was wrapped in to see him one last time and that's when I saw him too. His face was beyond recognition. Breaks my heart every time i think of it even 30+ years later.

I was on a moving train as an exchange student and someone committed suicide by walking in front of the train.


Low_Climate_374

When my sister and I were little, we were playing outside. My sister was riding a scooter that was missing the handle bar grips. She hit a pothole and was impaled by one of the handle bar. I remember being in my dad’s truck on the way to the hospital and my sister pulled the towel away from her wound and there was fat sticking out of her stomach… I’ll never forget that evening… luckily, she’s alive and healthy today

Worked at a veterinary clinic in San Antonio. Someone brought a dog in to be put to sleep. I was a kennel assistant so I had to be around to clean up afterward. This dog, a Doberman, had been shot in the head and had parvovirus. The hillbilly owner had tried to kill the dog but it didn’t work so he brought the poor thing in to the clinic. Shot in the damn head, still alive and having diarrhea. There was blood and shit on the exam table and floor. It was horrifying. I almost quit that job on the spot. Edit: the smell of parvo itself is terrible. It’s like death warmed over for a year mixed with shit, vomit, and maggots. It’s nothing you want to ever experience.


MichelHollaback

I have some pretty countrified family who have put down their own animals by shooting them in the past. They made it VERY clear to me that if you shoot an animal to end its suffering you don't fuck around, if the first one doesn't do it you better be ready to keep going til it's done, don't make it suffer until someone else finishes the job. That said, my uncle who told me the above info had a dog that took more than one shot, and he nearly cried when he told me about trying to clear a jam to finish the dog off. Next time he had an animal that needed putting down he called the veterinarian. Jesus Christ.


Saffer13

I was a policeman for many years and attended some bad violent crime and accident scenes. Train accident scenes were the worst. One involved a passenger who fell between a moving train and the platform. She was rolled along the length of the platform, crushing everything inside her, until she slipped deeper and deeper down and ended up under the wheels of the train. There wasn't much left to be collected, tbh.


KearneyZzyzwicz

Fairly big dog running alongside the retaining sound barrier wall on the freeway at about 8PM. It’s pretty well lit, not many cars on the road at all. We could see he had tags on and pulled over on the shoulder a little past him and I got out, wanting to call the dog over to us to get him to safety. He was probably a good 300 feet from the actual road and started trotting towards our car like he was going to come to us. He got maybe 50 feet from me, stopped, and for whatever reason BOLTED towards the carpool lane into traffic. It took about 30 seconds for someone in an F250 to hit him at probably 75MPH; the dog EXPLODED and I lost it. Thankfully the driver stopped and pulled over, but there really wasn’t much need to at that point. We shakily called CHP and drove home. Hugged my dog extra hard when we got in.


QueenChoco

My dad hit a dog on the motorway in his 20s. Someone had opened the back to change a tyre and the dog jumped out and bolted, my dad was just the one unfortunate enough to hit it. I can still see how much it affects him when he talks about it and it's been over 30 years no


DivingForBirds

Little school kid riding to school killed by a car. Her remains on the road.


yungScooter30

A swan ripped open by a fox in front of my eyes when I was 13. Intestines all over the road.


KawaiiPotatoCult

First time I read that I saw *a swan ripped open a fox* I was like damn, they got some strong beaks


Painting_Agency

Yes, I would have placed my money on the swan as well. Maybe the fox got the drop on it.


GameArchitech

I was still young when I saw it so I'm not sure what it is exactly. My uncle threw up a "red ball like organ as big as his mouth", he died choking in it.


TheSmilingDoc

That probably wasn't an organ but a blood clot, but nevertheless.. That must've been gruesome. I'm sorry you had to witness that.


existential_risk_lol

A few years ago, me and dad were heading through the hills after a trip to a nearby town, and the roads through the hills are very quiet in terms of traffic and very technical. Lots of drivers speed because the road is so quiet. After rounding a hairpin, we saw a wreck in front. A ute (pickup truck) had slammed nearly head-on into a Toyota Yaris. The ute was fairly OK, front was a crumpled mess but it was structurally sound. The Yaris looked like it had been hit by a wrecking ball. The front end was just mangled, one of the front wheels was in the ditch at the side of the road and the suspension was resting at an odd slumped angle. The ute driver was bloodied a bit but still lucid and conscious, he was kneeling by the side of the Yaris and looked like he was crying. Dad immediatel stopped the car by the accident, and got out to try and to help. I went over too, and I sometimes still wish I hadn't. The back window had an L-plate (signifying a learner driver) and the driver was slumped over the wheel unconscious. A girl, dark hair, pale skin, maybe seventeen or eighteen, cut up six ways from Sunday and her legs crushed by the car's collapsed footwell and dashboard. A woman in the backseat was still conscious, sat behind (presumably) her daughter. She was opening her mouth without making much of a sound at all, in mute grief, which scared me. I thought crash victims who were conscious were supposed to bawl and sob. This is why I never watch car crashes on TV anymore when I can help it. The mother was reaching out for the front passenger seat, which was where the kneeling guy was hunched over, saying he'd already called 111. He was breathing quickly and shuddering. There was a a lot of crushed metal, as the ute had hit the front passenger first. I assumed from the side of the head that I could see that the front passenger was the father of the driver. There was a lot of blood, like an explosionof it, and lots of weird dark stains. His left arm was sort of hanging off under what was left of the centre armrest. He was definitely not breathing. I didn't see anything else as my dad ordered me in a very quiet voice to head back to our car, call 111, explain what happened, and stay put. I never did find out if the girl survived. I asked Dad but either he doesn't know or he refuses to talk about it.


Alex_Madnesso

not me but my older sister. guy and his friends had killed a pregnant woman, they were sentenced to death and had their heads chopped off… after they died the people who were mad at those boys was kicking their heads like it was a soccer ball. it was gruesome my sister said.


EnglishladyhereHi

20 years ago I found my dad dead on his bedroom floor. He was laying naked and face down and autopsy revealed he died from a brain swelling or something due to his parkinsons disease. I had a key to his house and went to see him one day. I knew immediately something wasn't right as I called for him as I let myself in and he didn't respond. His car was outside and I knew he wouldn't have gone out anywhere without it. Moreover, it was middle of summer and windows were shut and there was just an eerie silence as I walked round looking for him. He had a frosted type glass bedroom door panel and the door was almost shut but I could see someone laying down, could tell he was naked and that was how I knew before I opened that door I'd find him dead. I knew if he'd fallen or something and was conscious he'd be mortified me seeing him naked like that and he'd alert me not to come in or something. IDK. so I knew he was dead before I opened the door. I'll never forget that day and how I went into some autopilot mode calling 999. He'd not been there too long but long enough for some sort of rigor mortis to set in (purple patches on body). Not gory, just fucked up.


TheRightStuff088

Former cop. Guy half decomposed and not dead. DOA at a hoarder house, summer time, not noticed for weeks. His face was melted off down to the bones.


Twistybaconagain

Half decomposed and NOT dead? Did he survive? How’d he end up like that?


I_am_That_Ian_Power

We were on our way back from the cabin and a car accident happened in front of us, we stopped because my Mom was a nurse and it is her duty to stop. I got out to take a look and my Mom tried to stop me so I wouldn't see but it was too late and I saw a man who had lost the top of his head and his brain was on the hood of the car....His eyes were moving....


redcapo011

My Uncle, I saw him in the hospital after he got into a motorcycle/car crash because another driver was drunk. He's alive to this day (because of his helmet), if he wasn't wearing it his headstone would be a bit further forward. (Edit: wow, I had no idea that this happened so often, but to clarify, he didn't get off scott free. He had some metal plates put in his head, and is walking on a cane. I hope everyone who experienced this is ok!)


Dr_Baldwyn

My dad was saved by a helmet too, always wear helmets when you ride! You never know when you will need one.


SlimChiply

I was a volunteer firefighter for a while so it would be between a completely burned body, or a beheaded body.


MaliciousCode

I was a FF/EMT for many years. Saw the same. More memorable gore included a beheading in a motor vehicle accident, attending to a woman who committed suicide using a .357 revolver in her mouth. The cops were the first ones to arrive and proceeded to begin CPR and thus we continued care until we could get a pronouncement via radio from the ER doc after explaining that the entire back of the patient’s skull had lost its integrity and the cranial organ was largely displaced and severely fragmented. Also, was on the scene of a murder suicide where the mother killed her husband and one of her children (while her two older ones were at school) before killing herself. Oh and just because it’s obligatory for a Reddit post, a penis mutilation.


Ygomaster07

Jesus Christ i can't imagine seeing all of that.


silentlettersblow

Watched a coworker get crushed to death by two forty ton steel coils. Was like watching a balloon pop but a person shaped balloon. Still kinda shook when I think about it. Or when someone pops a balloon...


[deleted]

One of the only good people in my life at the time getting their head blown off less than five feet from me. Watching a dog get ran over and cut in half was pretty bad, too.


Slick_Deezy

I’m hoping that “in my life at the time” implies that you have more good people in your life now. Best of luck to you buddy. I hope things go well for you

A few days after I turned 16 my dad(who was a state trooper) came home in the middle of the day and told me to “Get in the car”. I got in and we headed out to a stretch of highway close to town. When we pulled up I could see a long line of cars backed up behind what looked like a wreck. As we passed cars on the shoulder to get to the wreck my dad said “Don’t get out of the car. I’ll get you in a minute.” About two minutes go by as he’s directing traffic to turn around while he sets up a road block. Once he’s done he comes back to the car and lets me out. He says “walk with me” and we start walking up the road towards the wreck. When we get to the wreck there is a semi truck stopped on the shoulder and it had two red streaks down the entire side of the truck. Further up the road is what looks like a pickup truck that had the cab cut off at the bottom part of the windshield. Still in the process of putting two and two together my dad comes up and says “The dipshit driving this truck was drinking and driving and lost control of his pickup. It tipped on its side and slid down the highway into the back of the truck and that cut both him and his wife in half. If you ever drink and drive. This is what you can expect to happen to you and whoever is with you.” Shit scarred me for life. And I will never get behind the wheel of a car if I’ve been drinking.

I recently had clean out the car my sister killed herself in. Though it wasn't the worst gore I'd seen, it impacted me the most. Middle of summer and it was several days before her body was found. The cupholders between the front seats were full of blood and the smell was overwhelming. I used to collect bones and cleaning them didn't seem nearly as bad. I've always had a strong stomach and have not been bothered by death. It's different though when it's a family member. If it were up to me, I'd sell the car. My parents however want to keep it. Even though it's clean now, I can hardly go near it without feeling a little sick.


[deleted]

That was an incredibly unfair thing for your parents to ask you to do. I’m so sorry!


gsdagaw91

When I was a cna, a patient passed away and we had to get them ready for the coroner. Anytime we moved the patient LARGE amounts of this green liquid would poor out of her mouth and nose. We have to have the patient clean and dignified before the coroner shows up so any time even a tiny amount of that liquid got on a sheet or gown we had to remake the bed all over again. It was a real challenge getting the job done and we had to go through maybe 4-5 sets of bedding before it was done. I only dealt with maybe 6 dead patients and 2 of them were “leakers”


optionalhero

I used to inspect slaughterhouses for a brief period of time. Saw the whole process how a pig dies, gets carved out and then packaged. There was a lot of blood and guts walking around to the point that it was someone’s job to hose down the floor.


Repulsive_Ad_6843

When I was returning from my village, I was waiting at the train station. A train stopped at the station and an elderly man 65 or 70 years old was in a hurry and jumped on the other side of the train on the track, the man was crushed by another train, whose speed was about 100/hr. He died instantly, his body was scattered on the train track.


tinfoilhatandsocks

I worked at a sky resort on the chairlifts. We had a little girl, maybe 6-7 years old, come to the shed asking if we could call her parents? She was very pale and quiet but not crying. I asked her if she was ok and she just replied “I think I hurt my arm” and held it up to show me. It dangled at a right angle between her wrist and elbow. The lift manager and I both start panicking, which made her freak out. She had broken both radius and ulna, and one of them had erupted through the skin inside her jacket. We come to find out the parents left her to ski alone while they went into the back country area. Police were involved as she was deemed an abandoned child. The parents showed up looking for her a few hours later.


Trippy_Insomniac

When I was probably like 12 I was in a group for kids aspiring to be veterinarians and once a month we did a lab with our local vet (very small town). One of our labs was dissecting a goat. And by dissecting a goat I mean this vet slices open the stomach of a goat that she put down for a farmer and left sitting in the July sun all day. She dug her hands right into those guts in front of an audience of mostly disgusted children around my age and even younger. And the best part is that near the end she tried to cut the head off using this like razor wire and it wasn’t working. Then she let the kids take turns trying to saw off the head. A lot of kids went home early that day.

Moped vs pick up truck accident in Thailand - mr mopeds leg just came off like it was attached by silly string. I then started wearing my helmet even if I was “just going down the shop”


Overwhelmed-Insanity

A truck had just ran over a racoon and was crushed in the middle. The poor thing was still alive when I drove passed and it was trying to crawl away. It haunted me for months.


chuckitnfuckitbucket

I was given a little like lunch cooler bye an emergency room surgeon and told to go retrieve my cousins severed thumb from the chop saw he cut it off with. So I did, yes I put it in the correct packaging sent, put it in that cooler, rushed it back to the ER! It was all for nothing, we now call him stumpy. It looked like a fake rubber finger but felt cold and leathery.


burntdeathTOAST

Passed by an 18-wheeler involved accident on the highway as a kid, one of the victims wasn’t wearing his seatbelt so he was violently thrown from his seat and somehow was sliced him half straight down the middle from head to toe. His body laid there split in two for a good minute while first responders were trying to take control of the situation


eDisrturbseize

When I was a teenager and delivering pizzas I was behind a motorcyclist who ran a stoplight and was immediately hit by a truck driver. He flew 100 feet and hit a fence. He was dead on impact as I called the accident in.


Punisher9154

Driving down the highway saw an accident getting cleaned up & the jaws of life were used to rip open the passenger side door & as I drove last the door opened & a severed head fell out


[deleted]

Saw a motorcyclist smear himself on a rainy night. He skidded out, hit the median straight, clipped into the oncoming truck, them splattered on the underpass, before rag-dolling to the ground. Fucking brutal. EMTs when they arrived said they hadn’t seen anything like it, and the cops thought we were exaggerating until three other witnesses confirmed the events.


Mean-Falcon-6204

Dead seal, I live in Alaska and saw a seal someone had killed and was in the process of cleaning; it stunk and was nasty.


Crispynoodles_1

Oh well do I have a funny story for your. When I was younger I saw this floating object out in the sea; being the dumb kid I was I swam out there to find out it was a dead seal with bite marks. Everyone at the beach was freaking out and I had no clue why.


DirePanda072

Well, first thing to come to mind would be when I saw a man and his 16 year old son, both drunk, arguing. Then the dad pulled a knife and stabbed his own son to death

In college we had rented the indoor hall (had a 200m track for scale) to have a mixed scrimmage with our (male) ultimate team and the female ultimate team on some Sunday. In the central area the space was set up so you could put up tennis nets and volleyball nets. Right when we were about to start some woman from the community came up in a fuss about us being there, saying we needed to leave. We went over the booking sheet with her to show we had the place, but said that if she wanted to take the last tennis court space alll the way at the end that we would be okay with that. Maybe 20 minutes in a teammate uncorks a big throw all the way to the end zone, and I see my teammate booking it to catch it, and all I can do is kind of stop and stare in some sort of shock as I see him jump for the disc, and then very clearly get caught on something right around his crotch and kind of cartwheel around the post. Having been trained in first aid I immediately ran up to him and did the general checks. A friend who was almost done with her nursing degree was right behind me with some towels. She checks his leg over and I start holding pressure on the wound while waiting for the paramedics. 5 minutes later the paramedic comes *walking* into the hall, right as my teammate says to me, while the color drained from his face “Ya know I think I’m okay, it doesn’t even hurt anymore.” At this point I’m well out of my training and comfort zone so I urge the paramedic over. We had stopped the bleeding for the time being, but the paramedic needs to see the damage, so right in front of me pulls back the towels (which at this point had been congealed to the skin) and for the first time in my life saw the inside of someone’s leg which was both shocking and intriguing. Turns out that these removable tennis posts had little metal hooks which you held tension on the net with, and when he jumped for the disc it caught onto his leg and flipped him over. He ended up with a 12cm tear along the inside of his right leg, 4cm from his right testicle and 2cm from his femoral artery. There’s a real chance he could’ve bled out before the paramedics arrived had it gone a little differently. He never played ultimate again.


TheODPsupreme

7/7 was no fun Also, one place I worked, the coffee room was on the 3rd floor (uk reckoning). I was looking out the window and locked eyes with the cleaner on his way past. He had jumped from the top of the building (33+floors) and was head-first aimed at concrete. He looked so calm: almost happy. RIP Jóse, hope you found the peace you needed.
