Prayers for Mr. Everett.

Derrick Thomas of the KC Chiefs had a similar injury (though he suffered it in an auto wreck. He probably would have been fine had he been wearing his seat belt).

Unfortunately Thomas died of complications from his injury - a pulmonary embolism.

That’s a serious risk with any injury that immobilizes you in any way, even something as common as a hip fracture, where you can sit up and move around some. In this case, where he’s going to not be moving for some time, it’s a much greater danger.
