And if the two parties “voluntarily” enter “into a binding arbitration agreement” that says the loser gets his right hand chopped off, is that okay too?

Reductio ad absurdum. See my comment just above about a "little knowledge being a dangerous thing".

You can't be obligated (even voluntarily) in a contract to be party to a crime as a provision of the contract. "Chopping someone's hands off", would be a violation of US criminal law - probably both federal and state laws.
