What would have happened to him in real life?

Question

Last night on The Simpsons, I saw this disturbing scene where Homer drives his homemade float down the football field and runs over the kicker's knee and when the kicker kicks one last field goal, his lower leg literally gets decapitated and flys off his body.

1) What would have happened to Homer Simpson in the real world for that?

2) What compensation would that kicker get for what happened to him because of Homer?

3) Could his lower leg have been saved and reattached?

Answer 1

you are a flippin box. what whould possess one to even ask that question? ha ha ha ha

Answer 2

Again, I love that 1

Answer 3

If I recall Homer at the time may have been drunk?

If so then he would get a load of charges of assault type and the likes, negligently causing wreckless harm etc.

The kicker could sue Homer for personal damages and medical costs etc. The team may have some sort of insurance policy. (I think I remember hearing that some kickers legs are insured for a large amount, same with some other sports).

They could probably re attached it, yes, so long as they got it before it got gangrene etc. Although I think later on someone was using it as a cup to drink out of so that may affect this process.
