I don't know if flail chest can lead to hypotensition...but pt with flail chest got a huge trauma so probably there are some bleed going on and also aorta can be injured...so it is trauma = flail chest + hypotension

in flail chest there will be also loss of negative intra thoracic pressure which is one of the mechanisms by which the Venous blood climb up the veins.
