It only takes that single second. I had already modified half a dozen to the D 10 blades and had always made the underneath cuts first that way when I did the final cuts parts simply fell away from me. Except that blade had numerous broken welds hidden by paint it hit me on my rt shoulder and fortunately with enough force to knock me out from under it had I been just a tiny bit further underneath I could have just as easily been trapped under it very seriously injured..
I've had other broken bones when I was a youngster they always healed after being properly set in place. However a compression fracture to a vertebra can be a horse of a different color those bones are not as thick and hard as say a thy bone they are more porous, there is hardly any way to actually set one back to its original shape about the only thing that can be done is to isolate or limit the movement as much as possible and hope for the best or go the fusion route which traps a disk between to vertebra so nothing can move almost exactly same process to repair a herniated disk the blown out tissue must be excised then the adjacent vertebra are fused, which almost always results in sensitive nerves being involved
Just in the past very few years a new process has been approved which was discovered had been used centuries ago.Where a small incision is made some of the effected tissue is removed then the area is packed with a substance to limit movement until natural healing could take effect. Of course today we have lasers to pin point damaged areas and excise the tissue without even making an incision we can grow some human tissues in cultures or right in the hosts own body then relocate those tissues to other areas Perhaps one day we may understand a way to transform bone to Adamantium and trick our cells to instant regeneration But I'm not holding my breath
