Agreed. It was a silly point. I have some personal familiarity with
this: some years ago I caught a car. The result was multiple
fractures of the tibia (I lost a 2" length just above the ankle),
comound fractures of the femur (he poked out of the thigh for a breath
of fresh air), 30% skin loss for the left leg, and near gangrene of
the foot (it lived). Suffice to say I was concious throughout the
impact and from there until unwillingly drugged into insanity at the
hospital. After being hit I sat up, observed and located the various
injuries, located an articulate bystander, gave him a quarter, and
told him who to call and what to tell them, and otherwise directed
affairs as best I could determine when immobile in the middle of an
inter-state highway.
This is not to say that this is either common or that I'd wish to do
it again. Just that it can be done, and the game should account for
both possibilities.

Quite, tho one may debate the definition of 10%. Is that 10% of body
mass lost? etc.
