Natch! That's just what I'd do if I blew my own arms off with dynamite while fishing!

Man though, if I were a prosthetics manufacturer I'd be making that video required watching by every single employee of mine and then I'd ask them, "What are we doing wrong? Why are this guy's products so superior to what we can make with all our flash & dazzle?"

I don't know if anyone else caught 60 Minutes tonight, but the technology is a bit beyond what this guy hammered out in his shed.

For rednecking it together though, hell of a job here.

Kudos for his efforts, but the video says he "lost both his hands when a fishing explosive went off prematurely in his home 9 years ago." The guy was going fishing with dynamite (not very sportsmanlike) and couldn't even use it correctly... Losing both hands is truly tragic, but it sure seems like he had brought it upon himself. :^/
