re: What is the most gruesome injury you have ever witnessed?

There was a video a long time ago about a guy in N.Y. City that fell on the subway tracks and almost managed to get back on the platform before the subway hit him.

He somehow got compressed between the subway car and the platform with just his upper body from the waist up above the platform and his lower half mangled. He was pinched so tight at the waist that he lived for over an hour and actually had his wife come down so he could say goodbye to her.

Once the EMS and Rescue folks got hydraulic jacks in place to move the subway car away from the platform, he bled out in seconds and died.
