Sorry if this is a re-post but I didn't find any threads related to this news item.

Apparently this guy was found walking down the street carrying his own severed arm after cutting it off near the shoulder on a bandsaw.

Just wow...

I wonder how he got into that situation if he wasn't even a employee, and why didn't anyone at the store notice? Crazy either way.

Most people don't think clearly when they are in shock!

I followed the link and then looked up more recent stories.
OSHA quickly closed their investigation because the man was not an employee at the store.
The man was treated and released from hospital. Sounds to me like no reattachment was attempted.
The police investigated and no charges have been filed.
The arm was severed “near the shoulder”

This story just gets weirder.

I wouldn’t know. I usually see or make them unconscious when they are in shock.

Very strange story. Although they all are.
