Man cuts hand off for second time

[edesignuk]

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.

 

[skunk]

Perhaps he should consider a change of career.

"Colleagues taped the hand back on" - real brilliance they have working there, it seems.

I know.

...I'd have used a staple gun.

 

[schizoidwoman]

At least he's consistent...

I don't think he can handle any more cutting remarks.

or maybe persistent?

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

Well, in the end, they put it back on, didn't they? You know what they say. Third time's the arm.

Cos then they'd charge him an arm AND a leg.

I love these threads, never for the story, always for the puns

Just when he's getting good at it?

 

[skunk]

I suppose it's armless enough.

 

[joepunk]

I could've handled it better.

Britney Spears cut her hand off? This is gonna be big news in Hollywood.

Oh wait, Bryan Speers. Never mind.

 

[Abstract]

How did he cut his arm off? Did he fall asleep and fall forward while cutting meat or something?

 

[iParis]

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

 

[IJ Reilly]

His boss asked him to knuckle down.

 

[RedTomato]

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.

<clunk>

<wails>

omg.

do they have an amazing worker's compensation pkg there?

I wouldn't let that guy back on the job in order to save his life (and limbs).
