The crash has reconfigured Correa's ankle into a perfect crystalline structure, capable of rotational and explosive movements beyond human comprehension. He will never miss another game, but will be unavailable each off-season as General Dynamics has contracted him for motion capture studies.
[When people say "aviation is the safest form of travel", they generally mean big commercial aircraft. Once you get to smaller planes, they become way less safe (and general aviation, i.e. private planes, are not far behind motorcycles).](https://www.bts.dot.gov/sites/bts.dot.gov/files/docs/browse-statistical-products-and-data/bts-publications/transportation-statistics-annual-reports/215386/2017-tsar-ch6.pdf)
Speaking as a pilot, no. Commercial aviation is absolutely a very safe form of travel, however I can think of a handful of lethal general aviation accidents off of the top of my head within the last six months.
When you wreck an airplane the odds aren’t in your favor for walking away clean.
Tatis expected back by July after horrific plane crash. "He's been doing a lot of PT, we expect him in training within the next few weeks."
This would be funny if it weren't so true. All last season he was "expected back by July" :(
But have you spent thousands of hours on Microsoft Flight Simulator and then made a total ass of yourself on AITA because nobody will call you a pilot?
It's an actual post. Whether it's real or not...I'll let you decide.

Padres had a community day today where a bunch of the players went out into the community (elementary schools, businesses, etc…) and here they are at MCAS Miramar visiting the Marines
Padres players were going around town today popping up at places for publicity stuff
I imagine this is one of the aircraft on the runway of the USS Midway which was turned into a museum here in San Diego
I know a lot of people are joking but considering the dude next to him is also in his Padres jersey, the Front Office is aware of this and gave them permission.
You do realize he’s not actually flying right? Like you can see people walking around outside the window lol also this is at the marine corps air station in Miramar near SD, Padres did a lot of meet and greets around the city today.
Was gonna say, I’m not wearing my work shirts by choice on my day off (although baseball jerseys are badass and slightly better than my company branded polo)
Just imagine hearing, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Just wanted to let you know that we have a very special guest in the cockpit today, Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr! He'll be taking over the controls for the rest of the flight while I get a couple of hours of shut-eye..."
Actually, general aviation incidents (doesn't always mean fatal) that have amateur pilots flying them are around the same accident rate as motorcycles. But notice how I said amateur, so untrained pilots trying things not within their skill level are often the ones getting into those situations.
Although the plane Tatis seems to be sitting in looks much larger than a general aviation aircraft, so I guess you're right.
Yeah the whole reason planes are safer is because they are usually only flown by professionals. If you go and try to fly a Cessna, it’s probably just as dangerous to your life as going on a motorcycle lol
Is that true?
https://www.ntsb.gov/news/events/Documents/2016_loc_SS_2_Weener.pdf
According to NTSB, accident rate (including no injury accidents) per 100k hours in GA for personal purpose (aka by amateur pilots) is about 12. And there are almost no so-called "untrained pilots" (maybe there are some in Alaska) since they need to get trained to obtain a license. Non-professional does not equal to "trying things not within their skill level".
https://www.iii.org/fact-statistic/facts-statistics-motorcycle-crashes
And according to this site, injury rate per 100m miles traveled in a motorcycle is about 450. We assume motorcycles travel 70mph (which is an overestimate assuming motorcycles are almost always on a highway, aka, underestimate of the rate per hour), making it 643 per 1m hours, 64.3 per 100k hours.
Hence amateur pilots GA flying is at least 5 times safer than riding motorcycles.
Breaking: Fernando Tatis Jr. has safely landed a plane. Unfortunately during the landing he injured his left and right ankles and four fractured ribs, and is likely to miss at least 100 games.
[You'll be riding the bus like a peasant, while I'll be flying in style on the airplane, because I'm Fernando Tatis Jr.!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dffFZom1Mac)
Every time I see a reference to Fernando Tatis Jr. I think about watching his father *when he was playing in the Sally League* and say to myself, it doesn’t seem possible that it was that long ago. Yet here we are.
Looks like a C-130 to me, but I haven’t really seen a C-27 cockpit iirc.
Edit: some people below are also saying it’s a C-130J. I should have been more confident lol
"Fernando Tatis Jr. Gets Into Plane Crash, Miraculously Only Injures Wrist, Will Require Surgery"
Then he’ll be suspended for his athletes foot medication
First he’ll be on the IL for 6 months for athlete’s foot
At least it’s not athlete’s ankle.
That's the ugliest case of foot fungus I've ever seen ~a Doctor
On this very night, ten years ago, along this same stretch of offseason in a dense fog just like this. I saw the worst ankle I ever seen.
As long as it’s not Correa’s ankle, we’re solid
What is that sticky stuff on his hand? Tape
No he took medication for motion sickness from flying a plane.
Worst wrist doctors have ever seen
*Two Plane Crashes
"Which one?"
In the same flight!
He was actually in two separate plane crashes. It’s unclear which plane crash resulted in the injury that required surgery.
Which plane crash?
We've had one plane crash. But what about second plane crash?
I don't think he knows about second plane crash, Pip.
After Tatis survived the actual plane crash completely unharmed, someone threw a paper plane very hard into Tatis's wrist.
Sir, a second plane has hit Tatis's wrist
Miraculously only injures wrist and somehow gets ringworm*
He’ll see if he can work things out, but team doctors will determine on April 1 that he needs surgery.
“After plane crash, Tatis Jr. Sustained ankle injury doctors call ‘second worst ankle we’ve ever seen’”
Just take some steroids for it, he’ll be aight.
Stop him! He’s headed straight for Correa’s ankle!
Tatis wrist crashing into Correa's ankle, there were no survivors.
The crash has reconfigured Correa's ankle into a perfect crystalline structure, capable of rotational and explosive movements beyond human comprehension. He will never miss another game, but will be unavailable each off-season as General Dynamics has contracted him for motion capture studies.
The plot for Rookie of the Year 2
A second Tatis has hit Correas ankle.

Stoppable force meets a movable object
Plane was fine, though.
A stoppable force meets a moveable object.
Mr. President, there are reports that a plane has hit Correa's second ankle
*continues reading The Pet Goat*
North Correa or South Correa?
Correa's ankle will hold strong and flip off the doctors after
Sir, a second Tatis has hit Correa’s ankle
It's already the worst the doctors have ever seen, it has nothing to lose
Wrong. Correa doesn’t have an ankle.
"Tatis? We missed the truck?" "We're not aiming for the truck"
Breaking: A second airplane has hit Correa's ankle
Has anyone told him that there’s no respawns IRL?
I dunno, I swear I saw him double jump one time.
Lol great fucking comment
It’s okay we can just grab his reboot card
WHERES THE REBOOT VAN
THE VAN'S SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!!!
He's going to run the bases with a knife from now on. Because you run faster with the knife.
He will spawn in the gulag
I don't know if this was your reference but I don't think today's youth have seen this enough https://youtu.be/a9qXbgrx9rg

Aw shit. Here we go again.

Can you hear the Phils Fernando? I remember the roar of Harpers swing almost made me cry
lol that works so well
He said his days driving motorcycles are over but he never said anything about not flying planes 😎
I’ve been told flying is the safest form of transportation.
Commercial aviation yes, private pilots less so.
By a significant margin.
Not if I'm the pilot!
Florida Man Wearing Arozarena Jersey Crashes Plane, Not Pilot
Sadly, yes, even when you are the pilot.
Commercial. There are a lot of small craft accidents you don't hear about.
Roy Halladay would disageee
Cory Lidle too.
Munson too
General aviation would be akin to motorcycle riding in terms of lethality
I doubt it.
[When people say "aviation is the safest form of travel", they generally mean big commercial aircraft. Once you get to smaller planes, they become way less safe (and general aviation, i.e. private planes, are not far behind motorcycles).](https://www.bts.dot.gov/sites/bts.dot.gov/files/docs/browse-statistical-products-and-data/bts-publications/transportation-statistics-annual-reports/215386/2017-tsar-ch6.pdf)
Small aircrafts, not your big commercial liners, have similar mortality rate to riding a motorcycle.
Yeah you are way more likely to die in a motorcycle accident..
Compared to flying commercial, absolutely. But is this still the case when it's an amateur pilot flying a small plane?
Speaking as a pilot, no. Commercial aviation is absolutely a very safe form of travel, however I can think of a handful of lethal general aviation accidents off of the top of my head within the last six months. When you wreck an airplane the odds aren’t in your favor for walking away clean.
I don't know, I'm pretty sure Tatis would be more likely to injure himself flying a plane than riding a motorbike.
At least he’s not at the point where his Achilles explode while walking to the training facility.
😂 I imagine every Padres fan let out a good goddammit and long sigh upon first sight of this.
No way he was with the team doing a city fan tour. It's all coming together now.
Tatis so swagger 😎😎 breaking the rules😤😱😎
"Fernando we're so sorry to hear that you died in a plane crash" "Which one?"
🤣🤣🤣
"Correction, the other one was actually a helicopter crash."
“Fernando Tatis Jr.’s entire body eviscerated in horrific plane crash - expected to be out until at least mid-May”
“Tatis to 15 Day IL: dismemberment”
Mangled Nando would still put up 4 fWAR let's be real
Tatis expected back by July after horrific plane crash. "He's been doing a lot of PT, we expect him in training within the next few weeks." This would be funny if it weren't so true. All last season he was "expected back by July" :(
That’s a real low flying plane
I too have been invited by the pilot to sit in the cockpit
But have you spent thousands of hours on Microsoft Flight Simulator and then made a total ass of yourself on AITA because nobody will call you a pilot?
Please tell me that's a real thing

Title should actually be, Tatis sits in cockpit while plane is on the ground.
Here we go again
“OK, so as long as you don’t do anything stupid, here’s $340 million.” *…hold my beer* - Tatis Jr.
Casually sitting in a plane that is on the ground is flying? TIL.
Ah yes, I also like to fly my C-130J with all four engines at idle.
I mean it’s not uncommon to be at idle power in the air. But he’s very obviously not flying this plane lol.
It is pretty uncommon to be in ground idle in the air.
[удалено]
Padres had a community day today where a bunch of the players went out into the community (elementary schools, businesses, etc…) and here they are at MCAS Miramar visiting the Marines
He’s flying a plane in the same sense that the Lamborghini I was leaning against for a picture while on vacation was actually mine….
It’s ok he just wanted to write his name in cursive in the sky real quick. He’ll be up there 10-15 minutes tops
Get this man a leash
Nothing wrong with being kinky, but this is hardly the time or place
I hate the patch on his sleeve. I’m anti advertising on jerseys!!
Wait till you see the diamondbacks sleeve logo. 😳
I just checked it out. It’s pretty bad.
I’ve seen that too. Makes me puke 🤮
It truly feels not just sad, but perverse.
It’s not PEDs… he just stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night
I’m more impressed with the dude flying next to the plane. He better be careful.
his dad hit two grand slams in one inning, he slammed into the ground in one inning
Padres players were going around town today popping up at places for publicity stuff I imagine this is one of the aircraft on the runway of the USS Midway which was turned into a museum here in San Diego
He can't keep getting away with off-season shenanigans
I know a lot of people are joking but considering the dude next to him is also in his Padres jersey, the Front Office is aware of this and gave them permission.
You do realize he’s not actually flying right? Like you can see people walking around outside the window lol also this is at the marine corps air station in Miramar near SD, Padres did a lot of meet and greets around the city today.
and thrust is at idle
They’re not actually flying genius they’re on the runway touring an aircraft
What if he asked for permission but they just assumed he was kidding & said sure go for it sarcastically.
Was gonna say, I’m not wearing my work shirts by choice on my day off (although baseball jerseys are badass and slightly better than my company branded polo)
This is also way safer than any motorcycle ride lol People really misjudge how dangerous motorcycles are.
It's a lot safer considering he's on the ground and not actually flying a military aircraft
I understand the sentiment, but I would much rather be a passenger on a motorcycle driven by Tatis than a passenger on a plane flown by Tatis.
Just imagine hearing, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. Just wanted to let you know that we have a very special guest in the cockpit today, Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr! He'll be taking over the controls for the rest of the flight while I get a couple of hours of shut-eye..."

As you can see right above his head, he’s literally on the ground lmao

Looks like he’s taking a selfie in the cockpit. Hardly flying the plane
Since when is a dude sitting in a plane, “flying” it?
That’s not just any plane. That looks like the flight deck of a C130

RIP Cindy Williams
Pretty sure he is still on the ground. You can see a guy standing behind the window
He’s looking at those switches a little too seriously..
"Hmmm... why not? 😎"
At least he's piloting something with more than 2 wheels.
Assume crash position!
I like that he's wearing his jersey
Probably picking up more steroids. 😆

Very cool. And by cool I mean incredibly stupid.

Does he do everything with a padres jersey on?
This guy does everything except play baseball
Did nobody bother to look out the window in the photo. He's not flying a damn thing. They're sitting on the ground.

Damn this made me think of Roy Halladay RIP Doc
Hopefully Fernando doesn't have an entire pharmacy in his system while flying, at least.
Love this dude. Lives life to the fullest.
Who gave him the keys to the plane
All these people on here making jokes and I’m just wondering if anyone can identify the plane as a C-27?
Looks like a C-130 to me, but I haven’t really seen a C-27 cockpit iirc. Edit: some people below are also saying it’s a C-130J. I should have been more confident lol
Four engines. Ergo, not a C-27. Definitely a C-130J.
Looks like he is on the Midway. https://www.midway.org/exhibits-activities/exhibits/aircraft-gallery/
I think he's at Miramar airforce base, they were touring the city and a group went there
It’s a marine corps air station (MCAS), not an air force base, it’s the place the first top gun took place at.
Looks like it’s on the ground tbh
That dude gets so high
