WUTANG is 4 the CHILDREN!
Yeah, I didn't really mean to start comparing them, it was just a convenient way to bring up Ralston.
And for what it's worth, I'm pretty sure I'd never have the presence of mind or wilderness prowess to be able to safely chop off my own arm and THEN rappel (!) down a cliff to save myself. I might be impulsive enough to run after a shark threatening my buddies. The two feats don't really compare.

He cut off his arm using a POCKET KNIFE! Holy crap...
I can see someone doing it with an axe, sword or something like that, but a pocket knife?!

This guy should compete in World's strongest man contest if he was able to drag a 300kg (over 660lbs) shark anywhere on land. I'd like to know what happened to his hands as a result of it from the abrassiveness of the skin.

doesn't have hands. he's a sea cap'n -- he just hooked the shark with his hook hand and stabbed it with the bladed forearm. silly b#9.

I think the doctor would stab them both, but then the ice man would just get mad and choke out the doctor, and aaron would cut off the doctors arm for stabbing him, then the iceman would scrape both of their faces off with his sandpaper like icelandic sea cap'n manhands.

How the ****ing hell is it possible to cut off an arm with a pocket knife? How the **** did he get through the bone? Must have took a while...
All right now, son, I want you to get a good night's rest. And remember, I could murder you while you sleep.
Hey son, I bought you a puppy today after work. But then I killed it and ate it! Hahah, I´m just kidding. I would never buy you a puppy.

From what I know, Ralston applied a tourniquet to his trapped arm, then broke the bone with a lurch of his body, then finally sawed away the remaining flesh with his pocketknife.
As I said, dude is TOUGH. And sharp.

If you carefully cut the tendons, and soft connecting tissue around a joint, you could sever an arm with a small razor blade. You'd never need to go through bone. It's thye same thing you do when you cut off a chicken leg, only harder due only to the size.
I'm suprised none of you looked down the page at the other articals linked. You alll missed this one.

Those that are the most sucessful are also the biggest failures. The difference between them and the rest of the failures is they keep getting up over and over again, until they finally succeed.

Wow, "Kuummiit." That's like the English word "Bookkeeper" in that it has 3 double letters in a row.

Hah, those are quite common in Finnish, btw. For example "saappaanniittaaja" comes into mind, that means something like "boot riveter".Wow, "Kuummiit." That's like the English word "Bookkeeper" in that it has 3 double letters in a row.
Hey I think "Chi" is real
Yes whenever I throw the term "boot riveter" into conversation I am amazed by how wonderfull it would be if I was talking in Finnish.
That guy who cut off his own arm, I read that his arm was so badly damaged that he only had to cut away flesh that he could not feel. Not such a bid deal.
On a similar note, there was a guy a few years ago who got his foot caught into a fishingnet winch. He was trapped upside down off the floor so he cut his leg off at the knee with a pocket kinfe.
LOL.. really, what else did you hear?.. did you hear that he was voted Man of the Year by Kung-Fu Magizine?
