I personally think I would have preferred to die.

You would rather die than lose 14" of your body?

[Fraulein]

Not necessarily. I just know that I wouldn't be able to cut off my arm with a pocket knife. The psychological horror of it all would do me in. In fact, this whole story reads like my worst nightmare. That's why death would seem preferable. I wouldn't be able to endure it. I'm also terrified to death of heights...

So, yes, I'd be the wuss atop the mountain, who was begging the lord to have mercy and take her away...

I'm generally a pretty tough cookie. But we all have our limits. And it's atop that lone mountain that I would have found mine.

[Feiny]

That depends on which 14 inches!!! wink wink

Well, there is that Mad Max movie in which he gives a hacksaw to the guy to cut either the hand off or try to get through
the handcuffs before the vehicle blows up.
