RE: The Wrong Place at the Wrong Time
My brother, @danclarke has seen some stuff, doing rescue work. He went to one crash where they carried the victim over to the helicopter; then Dan went back for his legs.
Pretty sure they managed to re-attach them, which is pretty incredible.
Oh gosh, I bet he has! Not sure I could cope with that. I suppose you learn to switch off and get one with what you need to do at the time.
That's amazing to be able to reach him in time and reattach his legs! Certainly a better end to his accident than this poor guy's.

It makes sense when you think about it. They don't call the helicopter out unless it's going to make a difference; so the real bad cases like yours, he doesn't get sent to; likewise the ones that can be managed by regular ambulances.
Kind of nerve wracking to think you're only being sent out to the crucial ones which could go either way.
Must be tough when you don't manage to save them.

He seems to cope with it okay. The bad thing already happened; he's just there making a dramatic, positive difference.
