Wizard Crewmate Dislocates His Titanium Knee After Slipping On Deck l Deadliest Catch

Aboard the Wizard a sudden slip causes one of the crewmates to dislocate his knee. This is not the first time it happens to him, which makes the captain think this is something the Greenhorn should have disclosed when taking the job.

If this was a reoccurring problem, you’d think he’d have a special support brace to help keep the knee aligned

[@michaelferguson9136]

Or maybe the Dr who does the physicals needs to be fired.

[@jackistripping]

not saying this was the case, but i also feel like we need to remember how expensive these procedures can be.

[@Mio248]

Maybe dude can't afford health insurance or is going through a tough time at home. I don't know; I try to give people the benefit of the doubt before I just decide the situation for them (which I don't ever do first cause that's judgmental and wrong). Whatever the situation is, my job as a captain is to be there for my crew who are breaking their back trying to do what I pay them to do. And because I understand that $%%% ain't easy, I won't ever shame them for being hurt. That can happen to the best of people. My only job is to be there for them. I've seen much better captains, let alone leaders, than this dude and many captains on this show. smh

[@NapsterBaaaad]

Keith always seems like such a caring guy...

[@Roobadoon]

He is he asked straight up didn’t dance around it he asked “has this happened before” and “what caused it” and “why didn’t you let me know when I hired you” he knew he wouldn’t have got the job and he knew he isn’t even physically capable of doing the job and lied to get it. Captain is looking out for his health by telling him straight sorry if you are a goofball and don’t understand how caring for someone works

[@TheMistresssabrina]

I think Keith was 100% right, to not inform him of a previous injury that another captain already had to deal with was ridiculous and dangerous!

[@michaelklingenberg7872]

And the best boss of the year award goes to.....

[@FryngeMinority]

“The new greenhorn seems like he’s gonna work out.” 10 seconds later: “AARRGH!”

[@SnackPack913]

Who tf goes on a crab boat with a knee that can pop out of place after a tiny slip on ice lmao. On the frozen bearing sea on a rolling boat covered in ice and water lol

[@jasonlinton9902]

A man is in pain and you scream at him i think its safe to say keith has been knocked out a few times in his life if not its a miracle!!

[@MB-oc1nw]

Because he put 7 other men's season on the line by not disclosing he had knee problems.

[@wesleymills2641]

He needed to be screamed at

[@spearfisherman308]

@@MB-oc1nw he needed work and it's not his fault that his joint dislocated

[@virgilio6349]

Scream? Have you guys ever had a real job before? He didn't say anything insulting to him, not a single insult. He asked the right questions. "Has this happened before, and if it has, what did you do!?". Yes, his voice is up, it needs to be, he needs to make his point across loud and clear. He needed to know what to do, if the injured guy told him "go back to port" he would've.

[@100thprimate]

@@spearfisherman308 It is his fault he didn’t tell the captain of his medical condition that jeopardized everyone else on that boat. Thats scummy

[@RileyMeta]

I have chronic knee problems and have dislocated both my knee caps at least 3 times. It HURTS. Recovery takes upwards of 6 weeks with some intense PT and NO WALKING ON THE LEG WITHOUT SUPPORT for up to 8 weeks. If they had straightened his leg and put pressure on it, they probably could've popped it back in place, which would've relieved some of the pain, but he'd still be off the ship ASAP. I feel for the guy, but Keith is absolutely correct, you tell your boss about this even if it's a non-issue JUST IN CASE.

[@Invisibleplqnetsmusic]

Keith may wanna watch how he talks to people. On the mainland you'd get your jaw broken.

[@Sercer25]

He's a bad leader.

[@kristenkaz3080]

Keith isn’t wrong. The guy should’ve been forthcoming. He may not be the best captain out there, but he isn’t wrong.

[@ericjohns9999]

I had surgery on my appendix when I was 7 year old. “HOW DARE YOU, GTF OFF MY BOAT.” -squares up and pushes bigger, injured person-

[@Bassmaster-xd2pn]

​@@ericjohns9999you're clueless

[@duaneayers6117]

These Captain's must do a better vetting job on these greenhorns. If not. It will cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is also the Captain's fault.

[@8mondaymonkey]

Hiring good people is tough...,,,.when you are approaching full employment. Do you understand that? Gotta do your best.

[@zackfalgoust3822]

On a boat and this goes for any boat not just fish vessels if anything happens while off the dock it’s the captains fault even if the crew member disobeys an order from the captain (which is illegal while at sea and the captain can and will call the coast guard who will arrest them and charge them with endangering the ship and crew which is like a $10,000 fine) it’s the captains fault because it’s his boat and he needs to know and have control over everything that happens on his boat.

[@raidwiped9405]

i can tell you dont work in the fishing industry, its a hard job to find good hired men for lobster season.. which is a joyride compared to this... everyone signs on at your own risk, some can make it and some wont

[@jonahdresbach7236]

Is not the captains fault he injured himself

[@billlumberg5746]

captains get upset when people get hurt cause they decide to go out in crappy weather. That is Keith's fault running in those conditions accidents happen no sense in getting pist off.

[@jasonw4053]

I honestly don't think Keith is out of line here. If your knee is so weak that a tumble will dislocate it, you shouldn't be on a crab boat, or at the very least make your captain aware.

[@100thprimate]

Agree, I think he handled it perfectly.

[@56llama]

He’s so out of line it’s not even funny Keith is the worst captain in the fleet

[@felipepineda1585]

Here's the thing with that thinking. We don't how it hit, exactly where and with what intensity save for this clip. That's drawing a lot of assumptions

[@christophm860]

Keith was 100% right, even if his approach was 100% wrong.

[@jasonbuck489]

I know people aren't exactly lining up to be a Bait Boy on a Crab Boat, but these Captains need to be a little more selective on who they allow on their boats.... You mess up an implant, you can very well lose your leg!

[@WELLBRAN]

Well he did not tell them! How is it the skippers fault ?

[@faithgrasso3602]

Keith must have had noone else to take out...why not work for sig..hes great

[@elizabethfoote2492]

Keith is mean

[@davidrobinson7667]

Brutal....

[@JustAJinx-ci6hg]

I swurr if they show the moved kneecap Ima get nauseous

[@stevenonthewater6070]

Seems a bit harsh. It's not like the guy was running an insurance scam. He came to make money, his body failed him. Screaming at the obviously in pain and scared guy won't solve anything.

[@tyler_bt3326]

It’s happened multiple times before, the guy knew how easily it happens and didn’t tell Kieth

[@100thprimate]

He put everyone else’s finances in jeopardy because he wasn’t honest. Thats why Keith was rightfully upset.

[@timhick6]

By far the worst captain

[@dinnersam2121]

Ngl they need to do a better job on making sure these green horns are healthy

[@KAIJUKING123]

Oooh ouch

[@ericjohns9999]

Keith with immediately not caring for anything about $$$

[@ericjohns9999]

Yup

[@misterwolf9227]

The guy is a liability.

[@ilikepiess2013]

I'm on the captains side he should have disclosed it yes he may not been hired, but that could have been a wake up call for him that he shouldn't be on a boat putting himself in danger and everyone else

[@aliciaperry9627]

How in the world did he dislocate his titanium knee? I didn't even think that was possible. I hope he recovers well. Keith's not wrong here. He was dishonest from the start. If he knew about this, he should have told him about it when being interviewed. By being dishonest, Keith now has to deal with the aftermath of this.

[@BeckyTheMallCop]

Since when was Brad Pitt on Deadliest catch

[@locsnuggles9474]

Give him some green beans and somas and continue fishing

[@scotthamp384]

Why would you become a fisherman of any kind with a titanium knee?

[@clarkme8952]

Maybe he didn't think his knee cap was going to pop out in the huge storm you knowingly sent him to work in (which you admitted on camera)?

[@mickmouse4650]

Accident after accident.. and why? So some people can eat crab sometimes.

[@kolejones6841]

and so some people can pay for their lives.

[@PraiszedNZ]

Everyone chose to go out there they know the risks

[@brandonochs1372]

Hell yeah brother

[@qualityherbsonly]

Lol. The risks is why they get paid so much.

[@aa-qx1cg]

Yeah we should not use any food supply if people get injured while working it.

[@Sbeve_One]

I don’t think this is all on the greenhorn I mean he’s a greenhorn he didn’t think it would be so bad his knee would expload and the captain needs to learn to take some blame for hiring inferior greenhorns like it’s in the name what do you expect man?

[@ryans413]

Plus they are in bad weather on a wet boat deck anyone could have slipped and fell but since it’s the greenhorn it’s all his fault

[@100thprimate]

If it wasnt so bad why wouldn’t he mention it? That math doesn’t math

[@100thprimate]

@@ryans413 The problem isn’t he slipped and fell its that he has a preexisting condition he didn’t let the captain know about. A lie by omission is still a lie

[@bennwardhaugh3013]

He never disclosed his knee replacement and it happened before on another boat, how could this not be his fault?

[@jasonardley4188]

Regardless of circumstances, if my boss spoke to me in front of other crew members like this, he’d wanna be damned sure I wasn’t able to get up! Yeah, fishing is tough etc and I’ve worked in far nastier work places, but when someone gets hurt the captain must watch his attitude a little better! I was left with a life long injury because my employer didn’t take it seriously, not only did they basically dump me out front of a hospital with no way to get myself in side, the hospital didn’t take it as seriously as they should because I come in alone without anyone from my workplace present😡 It turned out after 6 plus months of intense rehab on my effected leg without my pain improving, they finally discovered I’d actually fractured my spine in several places their lack of care and being too much in a hurry to get me working again ended up with me never being able to work again! Unless this guy has had this happen to him many many times before, I’m not sure I’d be calling him a liar really either. Regardless, seeing as he fell while in fairly rough seas, anyones knee could have blown out in that kind of fall. Yeah it sucks for the captain and crew, no doubt, but it’s also a normal occurrence in this industry, blaming the injured party is just weak as hell!

[@Latchimus]

Who in their right mind with a Total Knee Replacement goes to work on a fishing boat in the Bering Sea? This isn't about the Captain, the twit with a prosthetic knee knows better! He's overextended himself, hid his injury from his employer, and could have put everyone in danger - what if he was attending a rescue and lost a man because he put too much weight over the knee and it dislocated as he was trying to save someone?

[@ilikepiess2013]

This is just not an injured party he had the injury since he was 14 and has kept attempting to get on boats when it has happened before out at sea. This was a wake up call for him on camera this wasn't his first time

[@Macabrebifidus37]

Riiiight. Because the horn knew his cap would dislocate. That reaction wasnt called for

[@jlo7770]

I would never disclose my ankle injuries. I never have and won't start. If he knew the guy was a liability then why'd he hire him? Dumb

[@jlo7770]

Lmao so he knew the guy was messed up and hired him? Lol this is 10000000% on the captain if he knew this guy was a liability why tf would he hire him lol I know it's TV but come on.

[@Ep0xy]

Worst captain on the show by far.

[@virgilio6349]

Lmao people defending the liar because "he needed money" what if he lied about his knee to the fire fighters, and on the first mission he dislocates it while trying to rescue someone? If you are going to lie about an injury do it for non physical jobs like accounting, not fishing. Also how is the captain supposed to know if he had a previous injury during an interview?

[@michaelferguson9136]

He's not wrong by any means...but there is a time to put fishing aside. Those kids are out there sometimes on no sleep and this capt only thing on his mind is fishing...when someone gets hurt they get hurt. It's time to stop worrying about fishing and worry more about safety and well-being of your crew.
