what are some of the main ways of getting one of your limbs amputated?

Question

i'm doing an english speech on amputation of libs, and i need to gather some information on how people get their limbs amputated. thanx!!

Answer 1

Main way? Sharp thing cuts limb off. Har har...

seriously, though, it depends where in the world you are talking about. In war-torn countries, unremoved land-mines cause hellish injuries, and then amputations.
In westernized countries, disease is a major cause. Diabetes, cancers, etc. Also traumatic injuries, such as from industrial and vehicle accidents.

Answer 2

Try entering amputations/accidental in the search and see what comes up.
You really don't give enough info on what you're looking for to get a good answer.
Are you talking about accidental amputations or the docs taking the limb?

Answer 3

Farmers get caught up in the PTO's on their tractors. People that operate heavy machinery. People at printing presses. I believe those are all very common. Then there are the puinishment tyoes of amputations for theft and so that are used in the middle east. There are really to many ways to get any of your body parts amputated to list.

Answer 4

have a look on the topic of diabetes you should find alot of info, as most people with diabetes get gangrene from poor circulation to the limbs and have to have amputations, search the net.

Answer 5

In the movie "Dances With Wolves", if I recall correctly, a guy had his leg amputated by having it sawed off, as you would saw off a block of wood with a hand saw.

Answer 6

Trauma such as an accident which could include a car wreck, industrial injury, farm accident, etc. or medical problems such as diabetes, peripheral vascular disease just to name a few ways
