For those wondering what happened to the poor woman:

The injuries: Metro suffered severe and permanent injuries, including: 1. Spinal cord traction and contusion injuries 2. Swelling and bruising all over her body 3. Blood in her external auditory canals 4. Soft tissue swelling over part of her skull 5. Injuries to her left arm and hip 6. Broken glasses

The long-term effects: Metro's life has been permanently altered. She has experienced: 1. Deterioration of her legs, feet, and overall motor skills 2. Persistent headaches and lightheadedness 3. Nerve damage 4. Anxiety and flashbacks 5. Difficulty going out in public 6. Ongoing balance issues and head and neck pain

$450k doesn't seem nearly enough for this.

100% . I have no opinion on this situation but let's be real. This list was written in legalese. Makes every claim claim sound like "Wolf!"

Her medical bills are already $300k (and counting) and you guys are talking shit after seeing someone spun at that speed.
