If you had to lose either your dominant leg or your non dominant arm, which would you choose?

SpEcRv9 · 05-02-2009, 09:04 PM

Leg, I'd just get a bionic one and be badass.

The Captain · 05-02-2009, 09:05 PM

The choice is clear for me. ICA

240sxDann · 05-02-2009, 09:20 PM

I voted ICA cuz I'm not really sure. As long as I can still drive manual, I dont care really.

Well, unfortunately I didn't have much of a choice in the matter when I lost my non-dominate arm.

To be honest I have thought about this question a lot, and after getting to know some lower extremity amputees I'd prefer my situation. Being able to be instantly mobile in a fire for instance is pretty important. Although I do painfully miss driving manual. But hey, if my arm wasn't carbon fiber Ryan couldn't give me cool tattoos.

well i really can't comment too much here because i've already been thinking about getting metal legs. it's a risky operation but it'll be worth it.

den9 · 05-03-2009, 04:48 AM

id lose an arm.

with out 2 legs, one leg is pretty useless, cant even walk. with one arm u can do alot of stuff like shower, brush your teeth shoot a gun, wack it, play rock paper scissors etc

I knew it was only a matter of time before this thread brought out all sorts of naive comments. For the record, Oscar Pistorious and other lower extremity amputee athletes can smoke many able-bodied athletes with prosthetic legs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ON4B-fNCvSg
The real negative is where an able-bodied person can just jump out of bed and run outside in a few seconds, and these people have to take a minute to strap their legs on. That could be the difference between life and death in a fire for instance.

its time for some crazy awesome titanium body parts man. hip replacement, get your **** cut off from under the knee and get some of those crazy ass prosthetic legs that let you run 30mph and jump like shaq!

i'm not even kidding. if i was in your position i'd seriously be looking into aftermarket parts... carbon fiber and titanium **** all over with computer stuff integrated into it somehow for something
