Depends on the situation, if you got desperate enough who knows what you'll do.

Our mate Cenobite would do that for "Pleasure".

I guess if the choice is lob your arm off or die I'd eventually lob my arm off.

But I'd probably give it a couple of hours just in case someone came by .

No guarantees that I'd be able to - I'd probably cut the wrong one off

Either the photo's been mirrored, or he saw the wrong arm off..

Respect.

suppose its all about Survival Insticts aint it, thinking about it I couldnt do it but given the circumstances I think the majority of people would be able to do it.

I've frequently wondered about doing something like that when I go to friends' houses and they insist on having EastEnders on. Luckily I've managed to get out of the room.

The lad concerned, Aron Ralston, has written a book about it - "Between a rock and a hard place."

Astonishing story, though reading the book you get the idea that something unpleasant was bound to happen to him sooner or later.
