What would you do if your arm fell off?

Like, say you were just having a conversation with someone and it fell off.
Like out of socket, skin detached from skin and blood all over.

What would you do?

 

panic.

i would like to think someone would call 911 for me.

 

pick it up and get myself to the hospital

 

Scream in pain, get confused

 

I would grieve for the loss of my dear arm.

 

which arm?

 

My grandpa lost his arm, so I think I'd be alright. I'd just borrow his hook.

 

smack the person I was talking to with it...challenge them to a duel.

 

Without a tourniquet; pass out from a loss of blood, unless some fools happens to come along with a lit torch to cauterize the wound

Hope it ended with just my arm.

 

laugh, panic, cry, laugh out of panic, repeat...then get myself to the hospital to sew it back on.

 

ditto

 

paste it

 

Scream like a mofo...hopefully have it re-attached. If that fails and it's my jerkin' arm...I'd have to find a way to preserve it. The left just don't cut it.

 

uhhh, I'd like to think my limbs are a bit more secure in place and wouldn't just 'fall out'

I'd probably run (as in sprint) to a hospital. there's one about three blocks away...

 

you should take the arm with you

 

i'd check to make sure nothing more important has fallen off!

 

If you know which arteries to grab to stop the bleeding, you'll be fine. That's how my grandpa survived having his arm ripped off.

 

I'm guessing farm equipment malfunction

No...he was at work, there was a puddle by a machine, and he slipped and fell into it. Ripped his arm clean off. Or not so cleanly... But his company paid him well for it and he still worked for them until he retired 25 years later.
