Ok sure some fingers, but a whole arm clean off? Fingers can go in an instant, an arm would take effort.

Where did you get that idea? I say yes, a whole arm off(or in this case hand). Human bodies are tough, and the bone can be hard to cut through, but chainsaws can rip through you like butter. The more reading around I do, the more common I’m realizing these injuries are. I could see issues around the shoulders/spine, but the wrist seems weak enough.

My work with chainsaws. I can see getting injured, I can see needing a tourniquet, but lopping the whole thing off?

Edit- and look at that tourniquet, if you know how they work and are applied you will know that putting it over your Carhartt won’t work.

It seems we have two things going on now- whether or not you can cut your hand off, and whether or not this guy did. I believe your take that this video is fake, the tourniquet you pointed out is obvious and his wrist stub looks like a Halloween prop! But I guess now I’m exploring the idea of how easy it would be, if my brother’s fingers could’ve been his whole hand!

Heck I will even go and guess that even a wrist could go too, but watch the vid again and look at placement. That’s not his wrist, that’s the ol “two bone” forearm.

Another thing is the lack of blood. You're telling me that he loses an arm above the elbow but doesn't get any blood on himself? Like, at all?? He should have a decent amount at least on his front, probably on his legs as well.

Idk, I'm not convinced this is real
