Farmer Cuts off Right Arm With Pocket Knife to Save Life
Sunday, November 25, 2007
A farmer from Kershaw County, South Carolina, cut off his own arm after it got stuck in a piece of equipment, WYFF4.com reported Sunday.
The nightmare for Sampson Parker began when he noticed a pice of cornstalk stuck in a farm machine. When he tried to release the cornstalk, his hand got stuck in the machine.
After about an hour of being trapped, with no response to his calls for help, Parker's arm became numb. He He reached for his John Deere pocket knife and started cutting his fingers.

According to the report, shortly after Parker began his dramatic rescue, a fire broke out. He then did the only thing he could to save his life—sacrifice his right arm.
With little-to-no time to spare, Parker went straight for his arm, cutting away from the bone as fast as he could. Once he severed his arm from his body, he managed to drive himself to a road where a firefighter helped him with the injury.

This dude clanks real loud when he walks.
Hard core, dude. Hard core.
Completely, totally self-inflicted wound. Another farmer trying to save one minute, ends up losing a lot more than a little time. I'm stunned that this still happens in this day and age.
i need to buy that man a drink
Oh yeah, pocket knife!
Do I look like I have a pocket?
Yes, you really have to hand it to him.
Good thing it was his right arm.
Several years ago a doctor in Houston jumped into an elevator as the doors were closing. The doors closed on his head and the elevator went down, jerking his head from his body.
I always wait for the next elevator now.
That’s one coyote ugly cut
I’ve always said that is how I’m going to die. I’m one of those dimwits who always sticks her hand in a closing elevator door. I should know better, but I do it every time.
I know, look how many people are killed trying to beat the train at a crossing, or run a red light just so they won't have to wait through another cycle, pass another car on a yellow line, slip off a ladder they didn't take the time to set properly, get hit by a car while they jaywalked instead of going to the crosswalk, or..............
“Why should I carry a cell phone?” Reason #643.
I personally am stuck in the 80s and have never carried a cell phone, but here’s another excellent case for taking the plunge.

“
better thing he carried a knife
I used to stick my hand in there too, but not since the doctor lost his head. Usually hitting the button on the wall will open the doors.
I know a guy who chewed off his arm because he woke up next to a woman who was so ugly he was afraid of waking her up......I think thats what is called coyote ugly.

if you were a young farmer now-a-days, that phone would have been in that stuck hand
His arm is caught in farm equipment.
Then a FIRE breaks out.
Tough day.
