6./ZG26_Klaus_Mann Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 As a Bicyclist and Motorcyclist, as well as Flyer, Limbs are something that can get lost quite easily. Specifiy how much of any Limb you would be OK with (Feet, Hand, entire Lower Leg or Arm, or Entire Legs or Arms) Head is not an Option because of German Helmet Laws. Neither are Hands, right Hand for Obvious Reasons, Left for Spoilers (Aircraft) and Clutch (Bike) But I think I would choose my Lower Left Leg, and Cannibalise an Old Vespa PK Hand Shifter and Rig a Stand System so I don't fall over. What can you do without?
CanadaOne Posted June 28, 2018 Posted June 28, 2018 I use a chainsaw every day and I try not to think about that kind of thing too much. 1

I cut one of those fall-downs today with the "um...which way is it going to snap" you know the ones. I have 3 Stihl gas chainsaws, but as a matter of course I carry one of the new battery powered units in the truck now, and I'm impressed to hell with that thing. I go get one of the gas units for anything too serious. 19 minutes ago, raaaid said: right now id give my right eye for one million i lost 50% of vision of it for staring at the sun as a kid, dont ask me why, maybe thats why i see flat but i prey to keep my left eye and right thumb and index to paint edit: thats a great idea if i was multimultimillionaire i would go to doctors ruin them and then buy parts of their bodies for fun You're a bit of a special case here in that your head in general is probably fairly expendable.

It's needed for wearing Hats. 35 minutes ago, CanadaOne said: I use a chainsaw every day and I try not to think about that kind of thing too much. Well, I managed to almost Split my Foot when I was like 14 or 15. Fortunatley my Shoe took most of the Brunt and the Axe slid between my 2nd and 3rd Toe and just drew a little Blood. And two of my Lower Vertibraes have suffered Compression or Shearing Damage. Apparently (and I don't remember where or when) I came pretty close to never being able to walk properly again. Looking at the X-Rays just made the though come up again, that if I actually became a Cripple, loosing my Legs, I may actually prefer having them removed completely. 1
angus26 Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 (edited) Personally, I’d go with an arm, nothing in the world could replace the ability to walk. Well maybe levitation but that’ll be technology we use soon right? 3 hours ago, 6./ZG26_Klaus_Mann said: As a Bicyclist and Motorcyclist What kind of motorcycle do you ride?

THERION Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 I love black humor, but this topic is really weird. There are a lot of people who lost a limb or organ - this question is really without any respect for those who are affected! P.S.: And where's the damn moderator to close this disgusting topic? Did he lost his fingers??? 2
Herne Posted June 29, 2018 Posted June 29, 2018 what a strange question. For flight sims I don't think I could do without my hands. I'd miss all those buttons, hats, and radials on the hotas, so it would need to be a leg. Guess I could still kick the rudder with an artificial leg, but would I be able to operate the toe brakes ?

And People don't become any more holy or better, just because they are missing bits. And I am doing my Part to help those in need, should some misfortune cause my Head to be turned into mush by a Tractor Trailer. Edited June 29, 2018 by 6./ZG26_Klaus_Mann

In the truck we have a 250, 440, 200 and 201.
HagarTheHorrible Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 I could quite happily lose a tree limb although I might have problems, later in life, trying to branch out. 3
LLv24_SukkaVR Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Left leg, definitely. Just below knee thank you. I have rash on it and when it's itching real bad i sometimes WANT to amputate it. Prostheses nowadays are so good anyway so would there even be much downsides of having one?
Feathered_IV Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 I guess loosing ones willy would free up a lot of time to concentrate on other hobbies. Especially at an earlier age.
