Lol.... yes it does... have none of you guys done a first aid class? If you are giving CPR and break someone's rib, you are covered by the good Samaritan act (at least where I'm from) because breaking a rib is more than likely when giving proper chest compressions. 9 minutes of straight compression would definitely break at least 1 rib even done by a professional. It's almost guaranteed to either fracture or break a rib if you are compressing properly
This is based off medical professionals who give CPR almost daily... and also from my own experience with training to give someone CPR.
Why are you saying proper CPR doesn't break ribs? Do you have a source for that? Every source I've read or heard, say that it's more than likely going to result in fractured or broken ribs if done properly.. that's why everyone is covered by the good Samaritan act if it happens. There were too many lawsuits from people who's lives got saved, saying they were assaulted because the result was a few broken ribs instead of DEATH ...

So is this all based on an ARC afternoon first aid course? If that’s your cert, then yes you’ll probably break a rib 😆
