[Marvel] [Iron Man 2] Is it possible to survive being twisted 180°, that the operator of the Hammer Tech Drone may have gone through? What would be the ramifications?

In the 2010 Iron Man 2, that operator of the Hammer Tech Drone went through a complete 180° turn of his torso. 


Is it possible to survive that? What would be the injuries and long term effects?

Real world its entirely survivable.  In his situation doubtfully so.  You'd sever your spinal cord which is immediate paralysis and all muscles and organs and bones caught near the twisting section would at best shear in a semi uniform fashion at worst rip and tear in ragged ways.  Your most immediate threat is shock and blood loss.  Assuming you can get the wound cauterized or enough blood into your system to keep your blood pressure up you have decent odds of surviving.  Any organs affected such as liver kidneys and colon will need to be replaced by machine functions as transplants would likely be impossible.  You'd have total amputation of anything near or below the twist point as the damage would be too extensive to repair.  You'd at best live in a wheelchair with a carefully structured diet daily dialysis treatments and probably shit in a bag.  No sex no drinking alcohol no walking ever again and possible excruciating pain from nerve endings not fully destroyed.  In the film the soldier is likely dead as his armor wouldn't be able to stop internal bleeding and it'd take so long to remove his armor to affect emergency first aid or surgery he'd be dead before they got his chest piece off.  If he'd survived the mcu has near magical technology just lying around so he'd get a talking animal sidekick and a half robot half ninja replacement lower body and become a true hero.
