A meatworker in New Zealand who accidentally cut his hand off with a saw had the operation to reattach it complicated by the fact that he'd previously cut the same arm off in a previous accident.

Bryan Speers almost completely severed his left hand at the wrist while cutting a flap of meat with a bandsaw at Crusader Meats in Benneydale, in the Waiakato district of New Zealand's North Island.

He told the New Zealand Herald: 'I just grabbed my hand and walked down to the office swearing my head off ... I really thought I was going to die.'
Metro.

Ouch.

You've got hand it to him / that was handy / he doesn't exactly sound like a handyman / You'd have thought someone would have given him a hand / maybe he should have been awristed / was it a second hand saw? / was he caught red handed / did they keep it in his handbag / hand hand hand hand hand

On the other hand, why didn't he wait until he was already at hospital to cut off his hand?

referring to the thread about guy who shoots himself while at hospital

WOW. Epic failure. How does one have the strength to just "pick his hand up" that is falling off of his body?!

This is meat. That is arm.

No, wait... this is arm, that is meat.

No! Arm. Meat. Arm. Meat.

Meat, meet arm. Arm, meet meat.

See saw. See saw armed.

Saw saw meet meat, miss meat, meet arm.

See armed saw makes arm missing meat.
