quote:
"I lost over 2 gallons of blood, suffered nerve damage, and nicked my jugular; I was then put into surgery to do plastic surgery on my neck and fix my small carotid artery that was severed," he wrote. "It was just a freak accident, but it did put me in the hospital unconscious and fighting for my life. I know that God has bigger plans for me in life; now it's time to get healed up. I also wanna personally thank everyone who was in the arena that night lifting me up in prayer & especially the EMT / medical staff on hand who got me the immediate attention I needed."

"I really didn’t feel it when it first happened," Naegele said. "I thought I broke my jaw until I grabbed my chin and then I seen the blood squirt out from my neck, and I said ‘this ain’t good."

There has been a GoFundMe account set up to help cover his medical expenses.

These things crack me up. Blood isn’t measured in US pints ,gallons, etc. I want to know how many units of blood and blood products he got. Units of blood are not uniform and are measured in ml or cc.
But is it possible ? Yes it is, given where he was gored and was bleeding from. And the reason he survived is because any bull riding contest should have an ambulance and trained staff. And a lot of luck!
This is also assuming he is bleeding out blood products he was given after he got to the hospital

Sounds like he should’ve been more careful

The average human has 10 pints of blood. This kid lost “2 gallons”. Hmm

The hospital reported 2 gallons so they could charge his insurance for that much.

I could believe 2 pints but humans don't typically have 2 gallons of blood. A loss approaching 2 gallons would be fatal.

Perhaps he was getting transfused and still bleeding during surgeon and he was told by the surgeon he lost 2 gallons over the course of the surgery

I was curious so I did a little research. African elephants have 65 gallons. Their hearts must be massive to move that kind of volume.

Riding a bull and getting hurt is no accident.

An average adult human body contains around 1.2 to 1.5 gallons of blood.

But don't let that stop him from lying. Typical cowboy

bkhrph•2 months

Yeah, I thought it was something like
6 pints

2 gallons ? You would be more than dead. Do better Collin !

Is it a freak accident when you get gored? Yes, if the bull bursts through your living room window. No, if you climbed your arse on top of it.

frick that bull! Eat his steak!

When you wear a 10 gallon hat then you probably think you have 20 gallons of blood.

FATBOY TIGER•2 months

He anyone want to tell Zach, he doesn't have 2 gallons of blood.

Tiger1988•2 months

Ummm. He could have indeed lost 2 gallons ie we don’t know how much they had to use to replenish before they finished. I’ve seen procedures where the entire body’s volume had to be replaced 1.5 times. So, yes they may have had to use that much blood before they finished.

FATBOY TIGER•2 months

Tiger1988, Zach didn't lose 2 gallons of blood.

Privateer 2007•2 months

Humans have 4-5 liters I think.

A gallon is 3.7 or 3.8 L I forget.
He didn't lose 2 gallons.

goodgrin•2 months

Average human male has between 5.5 and 6 "Liters" of blood. That's less than 2 gallons. Google is so difficult people!
