I’m thinking how this injury could have been caused by a single incident. Like both hands dismembered, with the right hand’s (on the left side?) thumb broken but otherwise relatively ok, whereas the left hand (on the right side) got basically cleaved, with the index finger flattened/elongated/crushed with the thumb looking fine (I think? looks sus, but can’t really say…).
first thought is a car accident, but then the whole bits of hands and them arranged wrongly doesn’t really make sense in my head, like, this xray wouldn’t even be taken in the process of saving their life, I would think (unless they are dead, and this is a post mortem xray, but then at that point, why wouldn’t you arrange it properly then?)
So I am thinking of some heavy machinery accident, and they managed recover whatever is left of their hands and limbs, rushed into the hospital, thus taking a quick xray to immediately see the extent of the damage.
Real answer has been posted, but my initial thought was that something like 2 to 4 m80s all blew up at the same time, with the person like pancaking or prayer-handsing them.
Fucking gnarly.
I’ve met more than one person who hand their hand ‘de-gloved’, in different kinds of industrial accidents, but both of them were lucky enough to get the skin put back on and not lose any digits, though they do of course have significant neurological issues.

Or it could be ai, no idea, not a doctor…
Article from 2014 says it was a factory accident to an 18 year old worker. CW: pictures of his hands post-repair but still bloody.
first link is my attempt to keep the preview from coming up, which didn’t work on my app. :(
Damn I was kinda hoping the person just moved their hands around while the xray was taking place
Damn, that absolutely sucks :(
