Usually fatal within minutes. Broken ribs are survivable (on their own), and are certainly preferable when compared with the outcome of death. Though I've noticed with the medical profession, speaking as a dumb firie, any outcome less

If they're replacing all of their staff with AI, why do they need so many middle managers to manage staff that no longer exist at the company? It often seems that AI 'will replace middle managers' though it would be more like
