It's also a very front loaded statement. Like they're saying you're hosed but you sort of walk away with the reassurance of but stable.

It's not that reassuring because by definition "critical" is life threatening and "stable" indicates that your condition is neither deteriorating nor improving. It's common for there to be long term health issues for those who survive physical trauma, and it sounds like that's a certainty in this case.

From what has been released it seems like it was massive trauma to lower extremities that was addressed with tourniquet usage (everyone should know how to use one imo) and since he got to a trauma center alive I would say he has a fairly good chance for survival. Probably mulched his leg up pretty bad but as long as you don't bleed out it isn't a fatal injury. The cold definitely helped him as well, remember if someone is down in the cold they aren't officially dead until they are warm and dead. Obviously if injuries are not compatible with life that doesn't apply but cold is great for keeping you alive

The latest reports are that he suffered other injuries apart from the one to his leg.

Referring to this as a "weather-related accident" is quite a reach by the media.

Jeremy Renner was run over by his own snow plow after leaving the vehicle to assist a stranded car, according to the Reno Gazette Journal, as the Hawkeye actor is in critical condition in an intensive care unit Tuesday while he recovers from surgery for injuries sustained during the incident.

Reno Mayor Hillary Shieve told the Reno Gazette Journal that Renner “was helping someone stranded in the snow” before he was run over by his vehicle.

The tragic incident happened after a new year storm left around 3ft of fresh snowfall on the ground, Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam said in a press conference.

A family member driving Renner's car had got stuck in the snow near his house, the sheriff said. Using his snow plough, Renner successfully towed the car free.

He then got out to talk to his relative, but the snow plough began to move while empty.

Renner was trying to get back into the driver's seat to stop it moving, when the "extremely large" piece of equipment ran him over, Mr Balaam said.

The PistenBully weighs at least 14,330lb, he said. The average weight of a car, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency, is 4,289lb.

"An eyewitness detailed seeing Mr Renner getting into the PistenBully and not seeing him again until the PistenBully came to a rest in a pile of snow in front of his driveway," Mr Balaam said.

It wasn't under power and the large surface area spreads out the weight

Even spread out, it's still a lot of weight.
