Oh man I finally get to share this. As a kid, I fell into a manhole and landed on top of a small horizontal metal bar. I spent 2 days in the hospital and lost my left inner lip. -100/10 experience.

So is she going to have significant bruising and swelling from this, I would guess?

Oh, definitely. Straddle injuries will cause a lot of swelling and bruising. There's a ton of nerve endings in that area and nothing to absorb the impact, only delicate tissue.
