uh-oh looks like you’ve just been shot
we’ll just assume you know all the
basics of first aid so here’s some stuff
you don’t need to know
welcome to watchmojo.com facts about a
fascinating topic in today’s installment
we’re counting down five things you
probably didn’t know about getting shot
shot me in the back I’ve made you angry
number five women are more likely to
survive a gunshot
a 2010 study found that women are 14%
more likely than men to survive a
traumatic injury
the researchers say that this appears to
be the result of female sex hormones
however a 2005 study found that women
experience more pain than men
owing to the fact that they have on
average double the density of nerve
fibers so while ladies may do better in
the long run it’s gonna hurt a heck of a
lot more in the meantime not that you
can do anything with that info maybe you
just shouldn’t have gotten shot that if
it’s alright we’re outta number four
tiny details make a big difference along
the kneecap the gut is the most painful
area guy can get shot in shit but it
takes a long time to die from it I’m
talking days obviously getting shot in
the hand is not as dangerous as getting
shot in the chest but even the tiniest
change in the speed of the bullet its
bearing and its type can have a major
impact on the resulting injury for
instance getting hit on the left side of
the heart will cause much more internal
bleeding than getting hit on the right
side but the opposite is true of the
liver and of course a high-velocity
bullet like one fired from a rifle may
do more damage than a lower-velocity
bullet from a handgun
but that slower bullet could have some
wobble to its trajectory making it do
more damage as it passes through tissue
either way you should maybe avoid being
shot what the hell are you doing
number three nanotechnology could have
saved you oh you were wearing a
bulletproof vest then they slap this
bulletproof vest on me and gave me a gun
but what if he shot you in the face just
keep in mind
Kevlar doesn’t block the force of the
bullet so much as spread it out so
you’re still gonna get a pretty strong
blast you’re gonna be fine baby doll the
next generation of anti-ballistic
technology uses carbon nanotubes which
research shows actually have the
potential to rebound bullets so go ahead
and get shot it might not be great for
whoever is standing next to you though
number two getting shot will probably
bankrupt you movies and TV make getting
shot looks simple if you’re tough and
you can find a doctor or a veterinarian
you’ll be fine in the next scene they’re
always little sting here
however while filling out insurance
papers and paying hospital bills doesn’t
make great TV recovering from a bullet
wound is really expensive especially if
you live somewhere like the United
States totaling 441 thousand dollars we
pay for 32 of these gun homicides every
single day a series investigating the
true cost of gun violence found that one
victims costs were almost 170 thousand
dollars and though most was covered by
his health insurance he still paid about
twenty thousand dollars out of pocket
besides that you may need to pay forty
thousand dollars for wheelchair
modifications to your home or thousands
of dollars for therapy and
antidepressants and how would things
like taking time off for reconstructive
surgery hurt your ability to earn money
or to even get a job in the first place
you are working again no I just sorted
some stuff out if you weren’t convinced
already you think you’ll agree now keep
bullets out of your body number one
there are worse things to get shot with
than a gun
you imagine getting shot with something
like that
okay those probably don’t exist and the
closest thing we do have would be
something like this particle
accelerators like this make the smallest
amount of matter you can imagine travel
at about the speed of light in 1978
Soviet scientist Anatolia Dvorsky was
trying to fix a particle accelerator
when it zapped him in the face as you
can imagine the protons instantly burned
a hole right through his brain will
spare you all the gory details but
doctors expected him to die as that
should have delivered about two or three
hundred times the lethal dose of
radiation I read all about your accident
that much gamma exposure should have
killed you however not only did he
survive he actually finished his PhD
continued working in the same lab and is
still alive and kicking next time you
can’t just walk off a simple bullet
wound
remember Anatolia by Gorsky but again
don’t get shot actually you know what
you’re all adults do you want did these
facts surprise you you never know what
you’re gonna get for more deadly top 10s
and semi lethal top fives be sure to
