Title: Could you........... Post by: bolt pp on January 27, 2010, 03:45:16 PM bite your own finger off to save your life?
I dont think even if your life depended on it you could do it. Title: Re: Could you........... Post by: thetank on January 27, 2010, 03:53:40 PM Just bend it

Title: Re: Could you........... Post by: EvilPie on January 27, 2010, 04:00:25 PM Tough spot that one.
I think it depends on how horrific the death was going to be. If we're talking needles through the eyeballs and a hammer drill through the head as a finishing touch then the finger would have to go. If I'm just going to fall asleep and not wake up then the incentive to bite off that pinky might not be enough. Title: Re: Could you........... Post by: gatso on January 27, 2010, 04:05:57 PM how would this situation arise? if your finger was stuck in something so you had to chew it off to escape then you wouldn't have access to the whole finger and it would be pretty damn tricky if not impossible to get enough purchase with your choppers
if however someone pointed a gun at your head and told you to do it or he'd shoot you'd probs just tell him to gfh so all things considered I'm going for a no Title: Re: Could you........... Post by: EvilPie on January 27, 2010, 04:08:57 PM Could be a snake bite I suppose.
If that was the case you'd need to know that it was deadly which counts most of us out but it's a possibility. I remember seeing a program where a bloke cut his arm off because he'd been bitten by a snake. Nasty. Especially as it bit him on his arse!! Title: Re: Could you...........

Title: Re: Could you........... Post by: bolt pp on January 27, 2010, 04:37:19 PM Was this thread inspired by Tighty's drive-thru incident? I was biting the finger nail on my little finger and nipped the the top of my finger by mistake and it hurt like f**k and it got me thinking about this so i bit my finger a tiny bit like you would if you were going to do it and it hurts like hell straight away, it would be 20x worse if you did it plus the horror of having your own finger off, i just dont think even to save your own life you could do it. bite down on your finger a little bit, without even making an indentation in the skin it hurts like hell, i dont know why though because to save your life you could easy cut your own finger off with a big knife and handle the pain and the teeth could deffo do the job so why cant you do it?

Think you would pretty much do anything to save your life if it comes to it.

Think you would pretty much do anything to save your life if it comes to it. true, i'm bitting down not properly incetivised and stopping as soon as it tingles a tiny bit , if it came to it the adrenaline would be up and your blood pumping and you'd probs not think about it and just tear it off in one! Title: Re: Could you........... Post by: bolt pp on January 27, 2010, 04:45:44 PM can you break the finger first? sure, would that help or just add to the agony? Title: Re: Could you........... Post by: TheChipPrince on January 27, 2010, 04:46:53 PM Can we not fool the opposition and give them a toe instead?
Less painful surely Title: Re: Could you........... Post by: gatso on January 27, 2010, 04:47:11 PM I was biting the finger nail on my little finger and nipped the the top of my finger by mistake and it hurt like f**k I think that's about the worst pain you can get though, really kills. I can't imagine that biting your finger off would be worse you'd have to do it as far from the nail as possible though as sensitivity decreases. there's loads of nerves and feely things at the pointy end so we can use our sense of touch efficiently and not so many at the other end cos they'd be wasted Title: Re: Could you........... Post by: outragous76 on January 27, 2010, 04:47:24 PM anyone could do it providing that the fear of death was staring them in the face
Title: Re: Could you........... Post by: bolt pp on January 27, 2010, 04:48:11 PM Can we not fool the opposition and give them a toe instead? Less painful surely could you reach to bite one off?

Title: Re: Could you........... Post by: EvilPie on January 27, 2010, 05:54:59 PM speaking as someone who has lost the tip of his left hand index finger, I can indeed confirm that it hurts like fk ! Losing the tip probably hurts a lot more than losing it at the knuckle. I'm guessing there's a lot more nerves at the tips of the fingers. Title: Re: Could you...........
