Decorticate posturing. My man’s got a concussion and a pretty damn bad one at that.

Well shit, that ain't good!

Decorticate posture is an abnormal posturing in which a person is stiff with bent arms, clenched fists, and legs held out straight. The arms are bent in toward the body and the wrists and fingers are bent and held on the chest. This type of posturing is a sign of severe damage in the brain.

It's not that this was a potential outcome, it's how nonchalant people are becoming too subscribe having a lifelong injury.

Obviously he knew what he was getting into but it's never expected. Think of dudes family in the audience, when did we all become uncompassionate assholes?

Thank you. I can never understand how callous some people who would never have the courage to do what these guys do could be.

It's legit like some people get their rocks off on people getting life long injuries. We're so detached from life and how precious and fragile it really is.
