What are the chances he was alive for a bit after being impaled? Just fucking imagine that agony.

Since the pole when through his chest, major arteries must have gotten severed, but the impalement itself would have prevented him from bleeding out.

Essentially, the shock from the pain would have caused him to pass out, but the time it would take for him to die would be similar to that of being in a chokehold until no more oxygen is left to power his brain. This is because no blood is circulating.

Let's assume the pole missed his spinal cord. I'd give him 7 seconds.
