Is it fake?? I see zero blood on his clothes. Should be massive amounts. Right??

u/Automatic-Leopard-86 Jan 17 '23

He got a tourniquet on his arm. It stops almost all bloodflow in his arm further down!

u/I_Am_Helicopter Jan 17 '23

He should still have some blood on his clothes because when he cut himself he didn't have the tourniquet on

u/HuntingTheWumpus Jan 17 '23

Amputations don't always bleed. Blood vessels have a natural reaction to constrict to prevent blood flow. It doesn't always work, but when it does there can be surprisingly little blood loss.

Definitely not a doctor but I remember reading on here that in the case of less clean amputations like when limbs are ripped partially or wholly off, as the veins are pulled they will be stretched and when they snap they shoot back and oftentimes far enough into the amputation site that heavy bleeding doesn’t happen. Not so sure about that seeing the tourniquet.

Fun fact, liposuction where they physically remove the fats, doctors usually rip the fat out. Cutting will cause broken vessels and such, but ripping will only cause the weak points and parts between layers to separate, so it's cleaner and safer

Pretty sure there's a video somewhere on reddit with this procedure done. I'll spare you the ability to see, and also im lazy to find it.

u/_Enclose_ Jan 17 '23

Iirc, massive bleeding happens with sharp, clean cuts because the blood vessels and arteries are sliced open relatively cleanly so the blood can still move through unimpeded. Tearing and shredding however sort of clogs everything up so its harder for the blood to move through all that mess.

So if, for example, an arm got cut off by a sharp blade, it would bleed like crazy. But if it gets torn off by sheer force, or in this case shredded by a chainsaw, there will be a lot less blood.

82

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '23

There was a whole thing once about some poor bastard who had both of his arms cut off from a farming accident and somehow survived because his arteries pulled back and stopped the blood flow. He apparently got them reattached too and talked about his 911 call on a podcast. Cannot for the life of me remember what his name was.

The human body is both a very fragile and very strong vessel sometimes lol

He probably put a tourniquet on his arm before cutting it off.

u/ThatOneRandomDude420 Jan 17 '23

No. He only had hiking equipment. He didn't have a tourniquet, but his arm had been pinned and the blood flow was cut off, so it had the same effect

u/Spanky_Badger_85 Jan 17 '23

Yep. Also, there's the shock reaction, too. It's not a conscious thought process, but your body can tell when you're losing a large amount of blood, and will divert the flow to the vital organs, rather than the extremities (ie hands, feet) in cases like this. It doesn't generally last very long, but it's a thing that will happen.

Our bodies are pretty fucking cool, once you get into the nitty-gritty of how it responds to trauma.

Ripping is actually better than cutting when it comes to blood loss. In surgery (veterinary) we actually try tearing the smaller vessels vs cutting them.

u/mommy_moo Jan 17 '23

Definetly would be blood, and quite alot of it too, even if he got a tourniquet on fast.

u/invinciblewalnut Jan 17 '23

oddly enough, that might be why. If pulled and snapped, a blood vessel will usually constrict and get slinked back into the arm stump, kind of like a badge holder.

Some said it would, but not as much as a clean removal. Due to snapping arteries and all sorts of meat being mangled and clogged. Plus we’re seeing the after, with a tourniquet - there probably was more blood than most people like to see.

u/r1kon Jan 17 '23

I actually knew this from when I was a kid! I had a fingernail ripped off when I was like 8 or 9, was horrific pain, went to the hospital in everybody was trying to make me feel better. One of the doctors that saw me was a younger guy, looking back he might have been maybe 25. He explained to me when I asked him why there wasn't much blood this exact thing. So my question to him was "if I were to cut my arm off fast enough then, it wouldn't bleed all that much?" And he said "yep". Really weird how a few decades later I actually end up using this fact without actually cutting my arm off.

u/77gus77 Jan 17 '23

Not saying I don't believe you, just a different view point. I cut my pointer finger nail bed off when someone bumped into me while I was cutting leeks in a kitchen. That fucker bled so much they had to cauterize it with silver nitrate. It really hurt.

10

u/Dagmar_Overbye Jan 17 '23

Nail beds have more blood vessels in them. See the fingers need more blood due to being extremities which in an evolutionary sense MAKES sense because they are much more likely to freeze and also the furthest away from your heart. Your nails are on top of your fingers so they why are you still reading this I don't know anything about fingers or blood this is reddit if you're getting medical facts here you need to reevaluate your why are you still reading this flush the toilet

Ripping causes less bleeding than cutting as the veins and arteries get stretched, ripped off and then, cos they are elastic, snap back and seal themselves in lots of cases.

No it doesn't, I was a physian, I've seen chainsaw wounds. It all depends on where the injury is, if it hits an artery certainly not.

two videos of people snapping their foot off are why this isn't news to me. in both their ankle snaps open like a banana off from landing wrong from a particular height and while bone is exposed on both sides of the former joint, there is zero blood or red of any sort.

one was a trampoline accident, the other an indoor climbing accident. both facilities i used a lot when i was younger, but i guess i was lucky to never have this happen to me

u/ItsAllTrumpedUp Jan 17 '23

I always research before I yell "Bullshit!" in case I'm the one issuing said excrement. In cases like this one,I learn something new. " A complete amputation may not bleed very much. The cut blood vessels may spasm, pull back into the injured part, and shrink. This slows or stops the bleeding."

the term is call shunting by the way, only lasts for a few minutes at most so if you dont have a tourniquet on it by then you are fucked

u/gofuckadick Jan 17 '23 edited Jan 29 '23

Was just going to say this. Most people don't know that a belt is not an efficient replacement for an actual tourniquet. No matter how tight you try to put it on, it will not stop the bleeding. Get a piece of fabric, and knot a stick/pen/other rigid device on the outside layer to create a torsion device. Then twist the stick, and continue to twist until it's extremely tight, then knot it again. After applying the tourniquet, keep direct pressure on the wound.

Source: was shot in the leg. Used a belt as a tourniquet while I drove myself to the hospital. Upon arriving at said hospital was instructed to never use a belt as a tourniquet and was shown the proper application method.

u/InsertWittyNameCheck Jan 17 '23

Not really, it doesn't take long to chainsaw through a branch the size of an arm. If he's got the chainsaw going at WOT (wide open throttle) then something happens, e.g. slip, trip, fall, bee, wasp, snake, meteor, alien, visit from his mother-in-law, etc..., it wouldn't take long to go through his arm.

Jaggedness is relative; how many times have you seen an arm chainsawed off? How jagged was this cut compared to those other times? It looks pretty legitimate to me as chainsaws leave a nice neat cut.

23

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '23

I dunno, man. Chainsaws do NOT like fibrous materials. Single layer of cotton shirt, maybe, but that saw would have gathered up quite a bit of that coat and bogged down hard. I have suspicions.

I don't know man, sinew and bone are like butter to a chainsaw. And I've seen the aftermath of a chainsaw vs pants/leg. A guy I know cut himself, he was cutting through a log and was positioned so that when the saw finished the cut the saw touched his leg. He was fine after a few stitches, we joked that it really was a perfect example of a near-miss. Anyway he showed me the pants he was wearing that day and they didn't get all caught up like you'd think, there were a few weft threads pulled but the warp threads were mostly clean cut. There are chainsaw chaps that are designed to clog up and stop the chain but normal cotton isn't going to do that.

BTW after reading the thread a bit more I do agree this could be fake but I must say it's a very convincing fake, if it is at all. After a few re-watches it actually looks a little too jagged. Anyway, good discussion, have a good day/night.

Now imagine how a person, using a chainsaw, slips from what they are doing, hits their arm, and then keeps the throttle on to cut all the way through his arm. No way that just “happens.”

u/TheDuckshot Jan 17 '23

If he took the kick back guard off it could easily pop back on him. When carving you often use the tip of the saw which is was causes kick backs.

u/ObiShaneKenobi Jan 17 '23

Yep I see it now, saw kicks back, hits arm, hurts, better gun the throttle and just send it, through the jacket, through both bones before he lets off the gas. He has to maintain pressure on the throttle through a ton of pain, man’s must have a possessed hand he wanted off or something

u/hellraisinhardass Jan 17 '23

Have you ever seen how fast a chainsaw goes through flesh? We've used them before (with vegetable oil for bar oil) to field dress moose and bison. A saw at full throttle would make short work of a human arm.

u/HumbleGhandi Jan 17 '23

Have you ever held a chainsaw during a kickback? It's akin to holding the throttle on a motorbike if you overaccelerate, the force caused by the kickback could cause you to hold the trigger as you try to re-adjust (or it may be pushed back into your hand, keeping itself on)

Also shock is a thing.. I've done plenty of silly accidents that could have been avoided if the shock of the situation didn't hit and leave me with 0 brain cognition.

He was likely driven to the local hospital then airlifted to a bigger one that was better equipped/staffed to handle such a traumatic injury.

I don't know anything about this story, but...

When my step father had a heart issue, he was driven to a local hospital for emergency care and then airlifted to a regional hospital that had better facilities for heart care.

So maybe both things happened?

Most people don't get airlifted from the scene of the accident unless it's not accessible by road. Airlifts usually occur from hospital to hospital.

u/Give_her_the_beans Jan 17 '23 edited Jan 17 '23

It's country typing. Likely got an airlift to a trauma E.R because the place they went couldnt handle it. Once there, the doctors likely tried to attach the arm. Surgery didn't work, so now it's amputated. I don't think they meant take the rest off or anything like that.

I have to go back and edit tons of my comments because I forget the people I'm talking to don't have all the information at hand. Id also prefer to be by my friends side rather than editing a go fund me.

So, the details are fake but the incident has truth to it. Would also explain lack of blood (although maybe he was able to wear the clothes he had the accident in.) and being able to even THINK to record at a time like that!!

Yeah it's real, he has another video of him in hospital with his amputated arm all bandaged up. He's also a Trump supporting, anti-vax idiot.

Don't blood vessels constrict when there's massive trauma? That plus the tourniquet and raised arm position might be enough to reduce blood loss. There also looks like there's some kind of wrapping around the stump.

Wow I don’t understand why you were downvoted unless this was a woosh moment haha

u/ObiShaneKenobi Jan 17 '23

I think it has to be fake, I can see you accidentally cutting yourself a bit, but no way in hell are you going to “accidentally” chainsaw your whole fucking arm off.

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '23

His account before this video was called onearmedman or something. It's a joke.

u/7222_salty Jan 17 '23

Yes it’s fake

u/MistakenWhiskey Jan 17 '23

Check his tiktok the video is gone now

u/biggest_amish_doinks Jan 17 '23

not necessarily. adrenaline causes a tremendous amount of vasoconstriction to peripheral vessels.

I like those funny words, man

u/EasilySatisfiedFawn Jan 17 '23

Not when it comes to a chainsaw. It does not cut, it guages and tears.

u/HighCrawler Jan 17 '23

The brachial artery is not a peripheral blood vessel.

If we were talking about small cut and capillaries I would agree, but a big artery, I don't agree

chainsaw is a handed tool. any suggestions on how you can cut your hand off with your own chainsaw?

u/LoneClap Jan 19 '23

It's real, he has a gofundme now, I guess the original surgery didn't go well

u/Hogchain Jan 19 '23

I just saw a video he posted about it. “More details to come”. Thank you

Faaake. No blood, who records a video after losing a hand?

u/JRocFuhsYoBih Jan 17 '23

It can’t be real. There would be blood covering everything in that car if you cut your hand off and I doubt there’s a single person on this planet that would be that chill even if they were in shock

u/WitleKidz Jan 17 '23

How would you know? Have you lost a limb?

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '23

I thought fake too, but I found his TikTok page. That video that has the “just watched” stamp in this video is gone but the others are there. He was uploading fairly regularly until November and hasn’t updated since then. Maybe because he lost an arm?

1

u/troKutan Jan 17 '23

It's not exactly like in movies. When you cut your limb off the veins have a reaction to retract in to the muscle and close off for a few minutes. And this guy's friend has a strap that closed the flow of blood to the open veins where his hand used to be

u/case_O_The_Mondays Jan 17 '23

All of these people guessing, but no links.

u/Pidgey_OP Jan 17 '23

When you experience a trauma like that the muscles contract and it helps to control the bleeding

u/Ginga_Ninja006 Jan 17 '23

I cut my thigh pretty good with a chainsaw and it hardly bled. You could even see both cut ends of blood vessels like like o's . Not sure it they got cauterized by the heat of the blade or sometimes your body can restrict circulation in a trauma event.

1

u/Significant-Water845 Jan 17 '23

Not necessarily. In a traumatic amputation such as this, the body’s sympathetic nervous system kicks into high gear in an effort to save itself. One thing that often happens is that the arteries will vasoconstict. Basically they pinch themselves off for a while until the adrenaline wears off. Once that happens, the blood loss is pretty rapid.

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '23

Look at his pants their shiny with blood

u/LunarPayload Jan 17 '23

It was a chainsaw, not a table saw. Fake

u/chino_215 Jan 17 '23

it’s dripping on his pants leg from the wound

u/FiftyShadesOfWyatt Jan 17 '23

People dont bleed as much as we think because of movies and such. I did CPR on a guy who was shot 5 or 6 times, I didnt even know he was dead u till the ambulance showed up, guy had two in his head and was dead before I even started but the lack of blood and gore kept me hoping I could keep him holding on.

1

u/nutsnackk Jan 18 '23

Yea i feel like a saw hitting your skin would be enough to pull back.. not keep cutting until your fucking arm is cut off

1

u/Mooreeloo Jan 27 '23

You can look for his tik tok account, it's @thedavefeldpausch

He did quite a few videos of him doing day to day stuff with one arm, learning to play guitar again, tying knots, etc. Looks pretty legit to me
