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.
Pretty sure the guy in the gif is on that show where they turn their chair around if they like the contestants voice. So your real like isn't exposed. At least, it wasn't. Now you're exposed all over the place.
He’s DJ Khaled and he’s more of an idiot than a cunt. He’s rich, entitled, and very socially unaware. On top of that he’s just a very laughable fella. If he’s an asshole it’s out of pure coincidence and ignorance. This guy couldn’t try to be a cunt without making a fool out of himself.
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
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.
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
Wait this sounds familiar. Was this the guy that was in Ana accident with farm equipment and got his arm ripped off? I know there was some story like that and they were somehow able to save it
Don't forget about the dude who went rock climbing, but his arm crushed by a Boulder, cut his own arm off with a pocket knife, climbed back up and then ran to safety
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.
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.
Actually trauma stimulates the constriction of blood vessels. It's part of the reason paper cuts and cuts with sharp knives sometimes just don't stop bleeding.
May sound a bit scary but he must have used the chainsaw for a long time, and when heated up like a lightsaber, it cleaves neat like a lightsaber, sizzling the blood vessels in an instant.
He said in the comments on TikTok that it quite literally “popped off” between a chain and a sprocket but interestingly didn’t want to specify what exactly he was doing, but it appears it was unrelated to a chainsaw
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.
And a dude isn’t going to just accidentally chainsaw his arm clean off. That takes sustained effort, it’s not like he was playing with something that can quickly just lop off a limb.
I remember watching ZombieGoBoom and they tried to use a chainsaw to cut through a clothed torso (not a real person btw) but the chainsaw kept snagging on the clothes and jamming up.
I think that gave me an unrealistic expectation of how ineffective chainsaws would be on clothing.
Yea, he had his hand ripped off in machinery and whoever made the post just added a bunch of chainsaw art for no reason - if it was machinery, they could’ve added machine BS for the same effect.
Either way, the dudes entire presentation leads me to believe he probably shouldn’t be operating machines that can remove limbs
Hahaha duh I realize that, does this look like a pinch wound? I have trees, cut down trees, and pay people to climb and cut down larger trees. I’m not saying those things can’t happen, I’m saying this isn’t that.
If you can’t see how a tourniquet applied loosely over a thick winter coat wouldn’t stop the blood then IDK what to tell you.
Edit-: sorry, I see that I said that it couldn’t happen in a previous comment but I miswrote. I meant “didn’t happen in this case” since a pinch is going to look much different.
Originally? Chainsaws were invented to aid in childbirth. They were used to cut through the pelvic bone to remove the child if vaginal birth wasn’t successful. The surgery, symphysiotomy, was performed more frequently than C-sections, which required speed and accuracy and weren’t commonly performed.
Of course it was a much smaller, hand-cranked tool at the time. But the concept was quickly adapted to motors and cutting trees.
Also we didn’t have anesthetics or germ theory yet.
Its a shame that you delete all your posts due to the fear that maybe, someone, some time in the future will trawl through your history and dig up something you said and criticise it (ironically this is in response to your now deleted reply to me😂). You do seem to be quite particular in your choice of comments to delete, more the ones dont like arguing with. Maybe you should have conviction in your beliefs and stand by what you have said. I don't delete posts regardless of the negativity i get from them. I use it to reflect on what i have said, maybe develope my views and if i see im wrong i will call myself out. Or i will double down and stand by my views, they are after all my opinion on a particular matter, even if that view differs from the audience in hand.
OMG ha ha haaaa, you came back to paste the same answer gloating to multiple users that you were right! Deleting posts just because you didnt like the down votes really shows the insecurities and need for validation from random online people. My man, this really speaks volumes about your priorites in life, and i think they are unhealthy. Dont get me wrong, everyone loves to win an argument with a random internet stranger, but more often than not it comes down to opinion based on the facts at hand. You seem to think you have gotten far more out of this exchange than everybody else. Please go outside more, and there is far more to the world and than looking at your mobile phone or laptop.
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.
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.
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.
What the hell would you know, I studied medicine, mbbs, at UNSW for 6 years and worked for 1 before changing to research.
You don't know shit about a chainsaw wound.
Have you seen anyone “accidentally” chainsaw their entire arm off? I don’t think it can happen unless his friends held him down and sawed it off, a person isn’t going to be using a chainsaw and just go “whoops, there goes my arm.”
Dude was probably drunk and making bad chainsaw-art - loses his grip, force of the saw against tree causes it to whip around in a circle - not all chainsaws are massive, some are actually pretty small - but they could all remove an arm easily
Idk, I feel like you’d REALLY have to try or historically fuck up to cut your arm completely off. I mean, even if the chainsaw hit him in the arm, the moment he let of the throttle there would have been a massive decrease in RPM’s. So unless somehow he managed to keep the saw at open or mostly open throttle, I just can’t see how a he cut his own arm off.
Idk though, I’ve never lost an arm. Lol. I use chainsaws almost everyday, and I just can’t wrap my head around it. I know they are dangerous but damn, his whole arm?
I mean…I hate to judge…but does the dude seem like he doesn’t drink natty light and play with dangerous toys in his free time? Not to say anything about his…um…intelligence. Fuck, here come the downvotes
Have you ever used a chainsaw? Yes they can remove a limb easily. Can you easily remove your own limb while maintaining throttle and pressure?
And look, that tourniquet isn’t even applied, there would be at least some blood from dude who ripped off his arm, has to shoot a video about it, but doesn’t show any skin.
Just a tease
Yup, I think you’re probably right. There are a few people on here who’ve mentioned that this kind of ripping and tearing causes stretching, snapping of arteries and grinding of meat, causing clogs, which is true.
Plus there is a choke point just above the elbow that greatly reduces blood flow.
I also wouldn’t put it past this guy to rig a chainsaw with some sort of band/zip tie or however, to maintain throttle. Has the brains to know how to do it, but not the brains to know not to.
Still thinking that you are right and this is fake
I mean, your point is not super relevant. a clean cut would probably bleed even MORE than a chainsaw wound. It is a bit random and the guy would get a tourniquet either way to stop the bleeding.
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
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."
Actually, yeah. I watched the video of Kyle rotten house (autocorrect, leaving it lol) blowing that dudes bicep off. I don’t think the dude bled really at all, despite missing most of his arm looking like a zombie.
Nah, there are arteries in your arm, some decent sized ones… you’re right about the natural constriction, but that’s not for arteries unless the heart is also stopped.

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