A crush leg injury is an injury to the leg as a result of something crushing and putting direct force onto the leg which then can cause damage to the blood vessels, leg muscles, tissues and much more.

In some cases the crush to the leg can cause a need to amputate the leg in some severe cases.

Crush injuries to the lower legs is trauma that results from the lower leg being crushed

Crush injury occurs as a result of direct physical crushing of the muscles by a heavy weight and usually involves compression of the legs, arms, and/or trunk.

In addition to the direct tissue damage, the compressive force prevents venous outflow, leading to accumulation of potassium, phosphorus, and myoglobin in the tissues.

Venous obstruction may be also associated with extremity edema.

Crush Trauma is a crush injury that results from being crushed and prolonged compression of the torso, limb(s), or other parts of the body.

The resultant injury to the soft tissues, muscles, and nerves can be due to the primary direct effect of the trauma or ischemia related to compression.

When someone is pressed to death the organs are crushed and the brain may also be pressed as well which then presses the internals out of the brain and your other organs.

Eventually you bleed internally and likely externally and your lungs are also crushed and then you're unable to breathe which you then eventually die.

Being pressed or crushed to death is a terrible way to die and it was used as a means of execution years ago.

A crush death is a death that occurs by your body being crushed.

The crush death can happen as a way of execution in the old days or can be caused by something falling on you by accident or even getting trampled on.

In crowd collapse and crush incidents the most common cause of death is asphyxiation, caused either by vertical stacking, as people fall on top of one another, or by horizontal stacking, where people are crushed together or against an unyielding barrier.

One cubic inch of bone can withstand the weight of five standard pickup trucks, give or take a few pounds.

If you're looking for the specifics to snap a piece of your skeleton, it takes about 4,000 newtons of force to break the typical human femur.

Death by crushing or pressing is a method of execution that has a history during which the techniques used varied greatly from place to place, generally involving placing heavy weights upon a person with the intent to kill.

This form of execution is no longer used by any government.

Being crushed to death can happen as a result of something heavy falling on you such as a building collapse, heavy machinery falling on you etc.

A car falling on you can also be a crush death.

When you suffer a crush death it just simply means that something has fallen on you and killed you by crushing you to death.

A crush death does sometimes result of internal bleeding or bleeding externally.
