Boots do keep feet in them when they get amputated. I hate tring to find a lost foot. Even worse when I have to peel it off the side of a bike in a t-bone accident.
You're right about that. I was working at a local brick plant in the 80's. When the day shift came in we noticed that none of the rail cars of bricks had been put in the kilns since 3am, should have been one in and one out of each kiln every hour.
Then, one of the operators found a boot, with a foot and leg bone sticking out of it outside a kiln. The boot and foot belonged to the finders brother who worked the night shift.
His body was inside the kiln, rolled up in a space about 4" wide between the kiln wall and the rail car with bits of hair and flesh spread down the inside wall for many feet. The parts of him that were farther in the kiln were cooked and burned of course. His brother was never the same after that, least that's what his friends said. These rail cars moved slowly, pushed by a hydraulic pusher. It would have taken many long minutes to kill him unless his head was the first thing crushed.
They tried to get him cleaned out of there and they pushed the car that killed him over the hill behind the plant but sometimes you'd still spot some hair from time to time.
