“Man drinks 24 Red Bulls in a row”
Red Bull gives you wings - and supposedly a really impressive heartbeat, as the video circulating on Facebook claims.
The video shows a man strapped to a stretcher and receiving medical care while his heart appears to be clearly pumping more or less regularly.
Where does the video come from?
The video itself leads us to the source of the video, because you can briefly see an overlay at the bottom that refers to stumpertjes.nl , a Dutch website that mostly publishes more or less “funny” videos. Funnily enough, the video has now been removed from that site. The video could also be found on YouTube, but *surprise* it was also deleted from yesterday to today.
According to some reports, the video is about the treatment of Brazilian Sertaneja singer Cristiano Araújo, who died on June 24, 2015.
The video was allegedly made immediately after the accident and shows artificial respiration.
The website Latina-Press writes about the accident:
According to doctors, the artist was admitted to the emergency room of the hospital unconscious. Artificial respiration was carried out and brain death was diagnosed.
The singer died due to the accident, but whether the video shows the agony cannot be completely confirmed.
And what is that now?
In any case, no mega heartbeat from Red Bull, we can assure you of that!
Fortunately, we also have doctors among our employees, so we showed them the video and got an explanation pretty quickly.
What you see in the video is a so-called serial rib fracture with paradoxical or inverted breathing and unstable left half of the thorax ; the red skin is explained by a strong impact, for example an accident.
To put it simply (please imagine the “Sendung mit der Maus” melody here): Several ribs are broken on the left side, which means the chest is no longer stabilized and the lungs expand as they want with every breath. So at that point the chest expands or contracts again when breathing.
Sounds weird? But it is true!
Conclusion:
A nonsense site from the Netherlands claims that this was caused by 24 cans of Red Bull. Someone else takes their chance and “rip” the video to put it on Facebook (Type: Likes are everything, whether true or not). That site apparently deletes the video itself, both on their site and on YouTube. It will continue to circulate on Facebook.
Yes, you shouldn't drink Red Bull in large quantities. Not even in moderation (you know what we mean!). And too much caffeine is unhealthy anyway. For adults anyway, and even more devastating for young people.
And it still doesn't give you a heartbeat like a cartoon character does when he's in love
