- timusca, on 10/10/2007, -12/+328He's Japanese, so I'm sure he'll invent some sort of prosthetic leg that will also work as a fan, an umbrella, an automobile, and make margaritas.
- stephenjones, on 10/10/2007, -13/+261I bet he was hopping mad about that...
- 30thElement, on 10/10/2007, -2/+214At first I thought it meant a bicycle and was wondering "how do you not notice that you can't pedal with one leg?"
- Fascist, on 10/10/2007, -11/+199But... was the barrier okay?
- unicronband, on 10/10/2007, -6/+182"he was unable to negotiate a curve in the road..."
Guy: OK motorcycle, we've got a quick turn up ahead. You ready?
Motorcycle: Man, ***** you. Hows about you give me an oil change first? And have you not noticed my check engine light has been on for over a week?
Guy: I'm sorry, I've been busy.
Motorcycle: Well, looks like you're losing a leg today. - mrbighead, on 10/10/2007, -5/+138Not only is the story strange, but it's written in such a way that makes it difficult not to laugh at the poor man's misfortune. I mean, how on earth do you lose a leg and not notice??
- torrzilla, on 10/10/2007, -0/+111Why won't this kickstand go down?
- MetalliMyers, on 10/10/2007, -2/+102Waitresses like him... ...he is always tipping
- OpenFuture, on 10/10/2007, -3/+91Later reports confirm that the biker hit the barrier due to the loss of his arms at the previous junction. When questioned later the biker told reporters that he did not notice that his arms were missing until he later realized his leg was also missing.

I've had my entire thumb torn off by a machine. I mean, twisted around and torn completely off, ripping out ligaments and the whole gory scene. I knew what was going on in the moments it was happening. I ran for help. I sat for 10 minutes freaking out while waiting for the ambulance. They whisked me off. On the way, the paramedic looked under the gauze and said "the bleeding's pretty much stopped. Do you feel any pain?" I said "no, actually..." Then it started, like my hand was on fire.
Point being, blunt force trauma isn't painful. It's numbing. If you don't actually look, you may not be aware of the severity of the injury. Your body flies into a complete state of shock and you don't feel pain like you'd think. Once the shock wears off, it hurts like hell! I knew I'd done something horrible. I couldn't look down because I knew I'd pass out if I did. It was in a bowling alley and I ran to go to the front of the place but stopped, thinking, 'I can't just run out flinging blood all over the place, it's a freaking LADIES tournament!'. I put my hand over the injury and felt the sharp bone stick into my palm. Then I knew for sure what I had done. But no pain at all.
Ah, good times, good times. - cgohier, on 10/10/2007, -7/+71That story doesn't have a leg to stand on...
- CMaff24, on 10/10/2007, -3/+65Maybe Japan has reverted to a robotic society beneath all of our noses.
- Nougat, on 10/10/2007, -4/+66"He felt excruciating pain."
ORLY? - kcb2, on 10/10/2007, -1/+59A true friend stops to pick up your leg....
- rayearth42, on 10/10/2007, -5/+56Was his name Irene?
- alexanEmpire, on 10/10/2007, -1/+51Don't forget it will be able to turn him into a giant mecha robot so he can tentacle rape, nubile women.
- fffizzz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+46was anyone else hoping to see a picture?
- gregdogum, on 10/10/2007, -2/+45No pain, no gain.
- RadicalEdward, on 10/10/2007, -3/+44It'll also be either hello kitty branded, or look like a knock off ipod, with USB 2.0 connections as well.
- Error601, on 10/10/2007, -1/+41Yea right, he knew it. He was trying to be a badass.
- nullx42, on 10/10/2007, -1/+40Alright... alright thats enough Monty py- *!* NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION! [unless you read ahead]
- Akaji, on 10/10/2007, -3/+35I'm at work too much.
- devoss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+31So, it'll just grow back then?
- slapded, on 10/10/2007, -1/+31jesus christ man you are the man!
- ygrof, on 10/10/2007, -0/+30Reverted? When were they a robotic society before?
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+32But now he can only hitch in one direction. Might as well just take the bus.
- CDoug03, on 10/10/2007, -1/+30Dude, where's my leg?
- RyGuyX, on 10/10/2007, -0/+23thumbs come in pairs
- Evacide, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24he still has another. dumbass
- ewok85a, on 10/10/2007, -0/+22Probably the insane adrenaline rush you get from riding - I know a guy who crushed his nuts in a motorcycle accident (gas-tank, meet balls) and didn't notice until the ambulance arrived 20minutes later and "suggested" he come with them, as he was bleeding out of his groin. Ouch.
- eclip5e, on 10/10/2007, -1/+23This could've been prevented had he been a foot-away from that barrier.
- LostInTheWired, on 10/10/2007, -1/+22No brain, no pain.
- toonworld, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19oh, running away are we?
- mglmouser, on 10/10/2007, -0/+17Similar thing happen to me.
Aged 12, I was in a summer vacation at a country farm. Little old city boy was weary of all the farm equipment and was scared ***** something would happen to him. One afternoon, a dozen or so kids including mkyself were playing in the barn, using a hay stack rope stuck on a ceiling pulley, to throw ourselves in the loose hay; essentially playing Tarzan (Tarzan was still hot in 1982!).
When came my turn, I wrapped my hand around the rope (stupid idea number 1) and put my foot in a knot (stupid idea number 2). When I threw myself, my own weight caused my arm to spring out of it's loop around the rop and I fell down.
Thinking that was a weird fall, I simply climbed up again in the hay stack. it's only when I grabbed the rope again, at face level, and that blood squirted in my face, did I realized the roped pulled my last thumb phalange clean off, severing the tendon somewhere in mid arm. The thumb was tangling about 6 inches off the tention--had I pulled on it, it would have fallen off (something I didn't do).
So, yeah. When things are torn off, the brain goes into a ***** up state and decided to block any sensations until it can assess the situation. A clean cut is way more painful than thorn off. - tdaddy11, on 10/10/2007, -0/+16Drugs.
- lolwutt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15No leg, no walk.
- CZzyzx41, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15The man was from Japan not Scotland. What do the Picts have to do with this?
- AMSRay, on 10/10/2007, -3/+17"Video or it didn't happen"
- billbacon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Unwilling to recognize defeat.
- humperdeath, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15Now wait a minute, I had 2 legs when I left the house this morning. . . . .
- GeneralGore, on 10/10/2007, -3/+16I guess you can say that motorcycle cost you an arm and a leg.
- CedEx, on 10/10/2007, -2/+14So I guess your hitchhiking career is pretty much over then huh?
- blorc, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Yeah, seriously. I just want to know what you do in a situation like that. I can't even imagine.
*Stops and looks down*
"WTF?" - unloud, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12lol, I hate you in a good way.
- allywilson, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11They travel in packs.
- Shawn4168, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14I'm impressed...you're missing a thumb, yet you didn't miss the spacebar key once!
- DoubtingThomas, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12"I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it."
- robot1122, on 10/10/2007, -0/+11Exactly!
- woody56292, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12They say it cost an arm and a leg, but he got it on a 50% percent discount.
