I'm not thinking of virus or illness. Just physical injuries. Every paper cut, burn, broken bone, stubbed toe, bonked head, etc.
You receive all those injuries right now, in a single moment.

I think I would lose an arm and maybe an eye, plus lots of brain damage and bleeding, but otherwise I think I would live.

I'm 55 and I've had a lot of injuries over the cause of my life and although I've never had any life threatening ones, I doubt I'd survive. My body would be a mess of wounds, and many on top of each other. Not to mention a number of broken bones, a lot of hits to my head, many needing stitches and bleeding like hell and two of them laying me out cold for longer than is good for you. Unless I was in a trauma room, I'd bleed out pretty quickly while unconscious I think.

Edit: Someone mentioned electrocution and I've done that a number of times too. Also surgeries. I'm pretty sure I'd die pretty instantly from the chock and multiple traumas. I'd forgot about bruises, I'd be completely blue.

The reason for the edit is that I'd wonder what the coroner finding my body would think. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Was she run in a concrete tumbler for 10 hours while simultaneously rolling down a mountain side? What the hell happened here?
