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.

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

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.

Riding a bull and getting hurt is no accident.

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

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

Humans have 4-5 liters I think.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Is it really a freak accident to get gored by a bull when you are a bullrider? Isn't that always a potential outcome of the ordeal?
